vars tables have the following recognized fields( required entries in blue, optional in green): vars = { units = UnitNameTable units, ref = table ref, alt = boolean alt, metric = boolean metric, } units is a UnitNameTable- a table of unit names that follow a special set of rules (see the entry on UnitNameTables). ref is a vec3 point to be referenced alt if present will display the averaged altitude of units metric if present the distance will be in metric. If not present distance is in Nautical Miles and altitude in feet. |

145 for 38 |
Usage Examples: |
Returns the bearing and range for pilot 001 as referenced from the point "LZ"
