Exact editor camera coordinates in the viewport toolbar: read, type, copy and smart-paste position, rotation and FOV, with named bookmarks, shareable location links and …
Highlights
All 11 features →ViewportGPS adds a compact box to every level editor viewport that shows the camera's exact position, rotation and field of view - and lets you change them by typing, dragging or pasting. Show it with Shift+Alt+C (position) and Shift+Alt+X (rotation), or from the viewport camera menu; position values can be shown and typed in centimetres, metres or kilometres.
Paste a location from almost anywhere. The Go To field, the right-click Paste entries and the Paste & Go command understand Unreal text (X= Y= Z=, Pitch/Yaw/Roll, Location/Rotation, transform text), plain number lists, BugItGo lines from logs and bug reports, JSON, C++ FVector/FRotator and Python unreal.Vector/unreal.Rotator - and any number may carry a cm, m or km suffix. Copy As does the reverse and puts the camera on the clipboard as Unreal text, a BugItGo command, C++, Python, JSON or a location link.
Location links carry the map and the view in one line. Paste a teammate's link and ViewportGPS opens the right map (with the usual save-changes prompt) and jumps to the spot. Named bookmarks keep unlimited views per level, beyond the engine's ten numbered slots, with jump, rename, update, copy link and delete. Every jump is recorded, so Back and Forward take you to where you were before.
The box also shows an editable field of view (it follows a piloted camera actor exactly like the engine's own slider) and the distance from the camera to the selected actors. Keyboard commands for copy, paste & go, history and bookmarks work without opening the box, and an extended Blueprint and Python API brings the same features to Editor Utility Blueprints and editor scripts.
ViewportGPS is part of the Alpha XP camera tools collection for Unreal Engine 4.27 and 5.8. It is an editor-only plugin with no runtime cost, every feature can be switched off in Editor Preferences, and it ships with styled HTML documentation.

Good to know
Editor-only plugin for Unreal Engine 4.27 and 5.8; the single ViewportGPS module is of type Editor and is never packaged into games. It is enabled for Win64 and Mac and uses only engine modules (no other plugins). The C++ classes are UViewportGPSSettings, UViewportGPSBookmarkStore, UViewportGPSBlueprintLibrary, FViewportGPSModule, FViewportGPSCommands, FViewportGPSNavigator, FViewportGPSCamera, FViewportGPSFormat and the Slate widgets SViewportGPSToolBar, SViewportGPSCopyPasteBox, SViewportGPSPositionBox and SViewportGPSRotationBox (plus 3 structs and 4 enums). Settings are stored in the project's DefaultEditor.ini, bookmarks in the per-user Saved/Config folder. Developed and maintained by Alpha XP.
