ad 1: While it is really easy to add GPS positioning in QML, it has also been somewhat low priority. Location setup in general needs quite some work still. For example, it is not possible to edit and save locations right now. When I get on to it, I'll probably add GPS positioning too.

ad 2: Yeah, freelook overriedes all other things that would move the viewport. The design you describe, seems like a very good idea, however it is not trivial to implement and there would be quite some work involved. But I'll keep your suggeststion in mind if I get on with this kind of modifications. As an alternative solution to help you locating the objetcs, you could turn on the constelation lines and labels and then navigate by eye.

Thanks
