Hi, looking for mod that create an output for every group contains a position of type entity.
Why? I would like to create a map using GIS for analyze whole train network (speed, capacity, number of trains, stops) and generate a charts and maps as visualization.
Second thing will be a current position of trains to export for live map of train network.
GPS tracker for entities (mostly trains)

Re: GPS tracker for entities (mostly trains)
Can you elaborate on the goal you'd like to accomplish [with global train network stats like that]?
Analysis is nice - but it's done for analysis's sake seldom.
And, for most cases I can imagine on the spot, the feature is present already in a form of rail signal logistics circuit network output, which, along with some clever combinators usage, can allow gathering real-time stats (and, I believe, even display these through programmable speakers) without modding anything (or with very minimal Speaker modding) .
As of live map, it'll be essentially a duplicate of in-game "remote view" with just train-specific filters enabled. It might be cheaper to export already-processed remote view with said filters for external survelliance. Unless you're pursuiting something really fancy
