+--- @type AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP
+-- @extends AI.AI_Cargo_Dispatcher#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER
+
+
+--- A dynamic cargo transportation capability for AI groups.
+-- 
+-- Naval vessels can be mobilized to semi-intelligently transport cargo within the simulation.
+--
+-- The AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP module is derived from the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER module.
+--
+-- ## Note! In order to fully understand the mechanisms of the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP class, it is recommended that you first consult and READ the documentation of the @{AI.AI_Cargo_Dispatcher} module!!!
+--
+-- This will be particularly helpful in order to determine how to **Tailor the different cargo handling events**.
+--
+-- The AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP class uses the @{Cargo.Cargo} capabilities within the MOOSE framwork.
+-- Also ensure that you fully understand how to declare and setup Cargo objects within the MOOSE framework before using this class.
+-- CARGO derived objects must generally be declared within the mission to make the AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP object recognize the cargo.
+--
+--
+-- # 1) AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP constructor.
+-- 
+--   * @{AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP.New}(): Creates a new AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP object.
+--
+-- ---
+--
+-- # 2) AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP is a Finite State Machine.
+--
+-- This section must be read as follows... Each of the rows indicate a state transition, triggered through an event, and with an ending state of the event was executed.
+-- The first column is the **From** state, the second column the **Event**, and the third column the **To** state.
+--
+-- So, each of the rows have the following structure.
+--
+--   * **From** => **Event** => **To**
+--
+-- Important to know is that an event can only be executed if the **current state** is the **From** state.
+-- This, when an **Event** that is being triggered has a **From** state that is equal to the **Current** state of the state machine, the event will be executed,
+-- and the resulting state will be the **To** state.
+--
+-- These are the different possible state transitions of this state machine implementation:
+-- 
+--   * Idle => Start => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => Monitor => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => Stop => Idle
+--      
+--   * Monitoring => Pickup => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => Load => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => Loading => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => Loaded => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => PickedUp => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => Deploy => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => Unload => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => Unloaded => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => Deployed => Monitoring
+--   * Monitoring => Home => Monitoring
+-- 
+--      
+-- ## 2.1) AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER States.
+-- 
+--   * **Monitoring**: The process is dispatching.
+--   * **Idle**: The process is idle.
+-- 
+-- ## 2.2) AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER Events.
+-- 
+--   * **Start**: Start the transport process.
+--   * **Stop**: Stop the transport process.
+--   * **Monitor**: Monitor and take action.
+--   
+--   * **Pickup**: Pickup cargo.
+--   * **Load**: Load the cargo.
+--   * **Loading**: The dispatcher is coordinating the loading of a cargo.
+--   * **Loaded**: Flag that the cargo is loaded.
+--   * **PickedUp**: The dispatcher has loaded all requested cargo into the CarrierGroup.
+--   * **Deploy**: Deploy cargo to a location.
+--   * **Unload**: Unload the cargo.
+--   * **Unloaded**: Flag that the cargo is unloaded.
+--   * **Deployed**: All cargo is unloaded from the carriers in the group.
+--   * **Home**: A Carrier is going home.
+-- 
+-- ## 2.3) Enhance your mission scripts with **Tailored** Event Handling!
+-- 
+-- Within your mission, you can capture these events when triggered, and tailor the events with your own code!
+-- Check out the @{AI.AI_Cargo_Dispatcher#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER} class at chapter 3 for details on the different event handlers that are available and how to use them.
+-- 
+-- **There are a lot of templates available that allows you to quickly setup an event handler for a specific event type!**
+-- 
+-- ---
+-- 
+-- # 3) Set the pickup parameters.
+-- 
+-- Several parameters can be set to pickup cargo:
+-- 
+--    * @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP.SetPickupRadius}(): Sets or randomizes the pickup location for the Ship around the cargo coordinate in a radius defined an outer and optional inner radius. 
+--    * @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP.SetPickupSpeed}(): Set the speed or randomizes the speed in km/h to pickup the cargo.
+--    
+-- # 4) Set the deploy parameters.
+-- 
+-- Several parameters can be set to deploy cargo:
+-- 
+--    * @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP.SetDeployRadius}(): Sets or randomizes the deploy location for the Ship around the cargo coordinate in a radius defined an outer and an optional inner radius. 
+--    * @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP.SetDeploySpeed}(): Set the speed or randomizes the speed in km/h to deploy the cargo.
+-- 
+-- # 5) Set the home zone when there isn't any more cargo to pickup.
+-- 
+-- A home zone can be specified to where the Ship will move when there isn't any cargo left for pickup.
+-- Use @{#AI_CARGO_DISPATCHER_SHIP.SetHomeZone}() to specify the home zone.
+-- 
+-- If no home zone is specified, the Ship will wait near the deploy zone for a new pickup command.

+--
+-- ===

+
+--- @type AI_CARGO_SHIP
+-- @extends AI.AI_Cargo#AI_CARGO
+
+--- Brings a dynamic cargo handling capability for an AI naval group.
+--
+-- Naval ships can be utilized to transport cargo around the map following naval shipping lanes.
+-- The AI_CARGO_SHIP class uses the @{Cargo.Cargo} capabilities within the MOOSE framework. 
+-- @{Cargo.Cargo} must be declared within the mission or warehouse to make the AI_CARGO_SHIP recognize the cargo.
+-- Please consult the @{Cargo.Cargo} module for more information.
+--
+-- ## Cargo loading.
+-- 
+-- The module will automatically load cargo when the Ship is within boarding or loading radius. 
+-- The boarding or loading radius is specified when the cargo is created in the simulation and depends on the type of 
+-- cargo and the specified boarding radius.
+--
+-- ## Defending the Ship when enemies are nearby
+-- This is not supported for naval cargo because most tanks don't float. Protect your transports...
+--
+-- ## Infantry or cargo **health**.
+-- When cargo is unboarded from the Ship, the cargo is actually respawned into the battlefield.
+-- As a result, the unboarding cargo is very _healthy_ every time it unboards.
+-- This is due to the limitation of the DCS simulator, which is not able to specify the health of newly spawned units as a parameter.
+-- However, cargo that was destroyed when unboarded and following the Ship won't be respawned again (this is likely not a thing for
+-- naval cargo due to the lack of support for defending the Ship mentioned above). Destroyed is destroyed.
+-- As a result, there is some additional strength that is gained when an unboarding action happens, but in terms of simulation balance
+-- this has marginal impact on the overall battlefield simulation. Given the relatively short duration of DCS missions and the somewhat
+-- lengthy naval transport times, most units entering the Ship as cargo will be freshly en route to an amphibious landing or transporting 
+-- between warehouses.
+--
+-- ## Control the Ships on the map.
+-- 
+-- Currently, naval transports can only be controlled via scripts due to their reliance upon predefined Shipping Lanes created in the Mission
+-- Editor. An interesting future enhancement could leverage new pathfinding functionality for ships in the Ops module.
+--
+-- ## Cargo deployment.
+--
+-- Using the @{AI_CARGO_SHIP.Deploy}() method, you are able to direct the Ship towards a Deploy zone to unboard/unload the cargo at the
+-- specified coordinate. The Ship will follow the Shipping Lane to ensure consistent cargo transportation within the simulation environment.
+--
+-- ## Cargo pickup.
+--
+-- Using the @{AI_CARGO_SHIP.Pickup}() method, you are able to direct the Ship towards a Pickup zone to board/load the cargo at the specified
+-- coordinate. The Ship will follow the Shipping Lane to ensure consistent cargo transportation within the simulation environment.

 -- 
---   
--- ## SPAWNSTATIC construction methods
+-- # SPAWNSTATIC Constructors
 -- 
--- Create a new SPAWNSTATIC object with the @{#SPAWNSTATIC.NewFromStatic}():
+-- Firstly, we need to create a SPAWNSTATIC object that will be used to spawn new statics into the mission. There are three ways to do this.
 -- 
---   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.NewFromStatic}(): Creates a new SPAWNSTATIC object given a name that is used as the base of the naming of each spawned Static.
+-- ## Use another Static
+-- 
+-- A new SPAWNSTATIC object can be created using another static by the @{#SPAWNSTATIC.NewFromStatic}() function. All parameters such as position, heading, country will be initialized
+-- from the static.
+-- 
+-- ## From a Template
+-- 
+-- A SPAWNSTATIC object can also be created from a template table using the @{#SPAWNSTATIC.NewFromTemplate}(SpawnTemplate, CountryID) function. All parameters are taken from the template.
+-- 
+-- ## From a Type
+-- 
+-- A very basic method is to create a SPAWNSTATIC object by just giving the type of the static. All parameters must be initialized from the InitXYZ functions described below. Otherwise default values
+-- are used. For example, if no spawn coordinate is given, the static will be created at the origin of the map.
+-- 
+-- # Setting Parameters
+-- 
+-- Parameters such as the spawn position, heading, country etc. can be set via :Init*XYZ* functions. Note that these functions must be given before the actual spawn command!
+-- 
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.InitCoordinate}(Coordinate) Sets the coordinate where the static is spawned. Statics are always spawnd on the ground.
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.InitHeading}(Heading) sets the orientation of the static.
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.InitLivery}(LiveryName) sets the livery of the static. Not all statics support this.
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.InitType}(StaticType) sets the type of the static.
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.InitShape}(StaticType) sets the shape of the static. Not all statics have this parameter.
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.InitNamePrefix}(NamePrefix) sets the name prefix of the spawned statics.
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.InitCountry}(CountryID) sets the country and therefore the coalition of the spawned statics.
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.InitLinkToUnit}(Unit, OffsetX, OffsetY, OffsetAngle) links the static to a unit, e.g. to an aircraft carrier.
 --
--- ## **Spawn** methods
+-- # Spawning the Statics
 -- 
--- Groups can be spawned at different times and methods:
+-- Once the SPAWNSTATIC object is created and parameters are initialized, the spawn command can be given. There are different methods where some can be used to directly set parameters
+-- such as position and heading.
 -- 
---   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.SpawnFromPointVec2}(): Spawn a new group from a POINT_VEC2 coordinate. 
---   (The group will be spawned at land height ).
---   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.SpawnFromZone}(): Spawn a new group in a @{Zone}.
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.Spawn}(Heading, NewName) spawns the static with the set parameters. Optionally, heading and name can be given. The name **must be unique**!
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.SpawnFromCoordinate}(Coordinate, Heading, NewName) spawn the static at the given coordinate. Optionally, heading and name can be given. The name **must be unique**!
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.SpawnFromPointVec2}(PointVec2, Heading, NewName) spawns the static at a POINT_VEC2 coordinate. Optionally, heading and name can be given. The name **must be unique**!
+--   * @{#SPAWNSTATIC.SpawnFromZone}(Zone, Heading, NewName) spawns the static at the center of a @{Zone}. Optionally, heading and name can be given. The name **must be unique**!

+--
+-- # The TIMER Concept
+-- 
+-- The TIMER class is the little sister of the @{Core.Scheduler#SCHEDULER} class. It does the same thing but is a bit easier to use and has less overhead. It should be sufficient in many cases.
+-- 
+-- It provides an easy interface to the DCS [timer.scheduleFunction](https://wiki.hoggitworld.com/view/DCS_func_scheduleFunction).
+-- 
+-- # Construction
+-- 
+-- A new TIMER is created by the @{#TIMER.New}(*func*, *...*) function
+-- 
+--     local mytimer=TIMER:New(myfunction, a, b)
+--     
+-- The first parameter *func* is the function that is called followed by the necessary comma separeted parameters that are passed to that function.
+-- 
+-- ## Starting the Timer
+-- 
+-- The timer is started by the @{#TIMER.Start}(*Tstart*, *dT*, *Duration*) function
+-- 
+--     mytimer:Start(5, 1, 20)
+--     
+-- where
+-- 
+-- * *Tstart* is the relative start time in seconds. In the example, the first function call happens after 5 sec.
+-- * *dT* is the time interval between function calls in seconds. Above, the function is called once per second.
+-- * *Duration* is the duration in seconds after which the timer is stopped. This is relative to the start time. Here, the timer will run for 20 seconds.
+--  
+-- Note that
+-- 
+-- * if *Tstart* is not specified (*nil*), the first function call happens immediately, i.e. after one millisecond.
+-- * if *dT* is not specified (*nil*), the function is called only once.
+-- * if *Duration* is not specified (*nil*), the timer runs forever or until stopped manually or until the max function calls are reached (see below).
+--
+-- For example,
+-- 
+--     mytimer:Start(3)            -- Will call the function once after 3 seconds.
+--     mytimer:Start(nil, 0.5)     -- Will call right now and then every 0.5 sec until all eternity.
+--     mytimer:Start(nil, 2.0, 20) -- Will call right now and then every 2.0 sec for 20 sec.
+--     mytimer:Start(1.0, nil, 10) -- Does not make sense as the function is only called once anyway. 
+--
+-- ## Stopping the Timer
+--
+-- The timer can be stopped manually by the @{#TIMER.Stop}(*Delay*) function
+-- 
+--     mytimer:Stop()
+--
+-- If the optional paramter *Delay* is specified, the timer is stopped after *delay* seconds.
+-- 
+-- ## Limit Function Calls
+-- 
+-- The timer can be stopped after a certain amount of function calles with the @{#TIMER.SetMaxFunctionCalls}(*Nmax*) function
+-- 
+--     mytimer:SetMaxFunctionCalls(20)
+--
+-- where *Nmax* is the number of calls after which the timer is stopped, here 20.
+-- 
+-- For example,
+-- 
+--     mytimer:SetMaxFunctionCalls(66):Start(1.0, 0.1)
+--     
+-- will start the timer after one second and call the function every 0.1 seconds. Once the function has been called 66 times, the timer is stopped.
+--

+-- #MANTIS
+-- Moose derived  Modular, Automatic and Network capable Targeting and Interception System.
+-- Controls a network of SAM sites. Use detection to switch on the AA site closest to the enemy.
+-- Leverage evasiveness from @{Functional.Sead#SEAD}.
+-- Leverage attack range setup added by DCS in 11/20.
+--
+-- Set up your SAM sites in the mission editor. Name the groups with common prefix like "Red SAM".
+-- Set up your EWR system in the mission editor. Name the groups with common prefix like "Red EWR". Can be e.g. AWACS or a combination of AWACS and Search Radars like e.g. EWR 1L13 etc.
+-- [optional] Set up your HQ. Can be any group, e.g. a command vehicle.
+-- 
+-- # 1. Basic tactical considerations when setting up your SAM sites
+-- 
+-- ## 1.1 Radar systems and AWACS
+-- 
+--  Typically, your setup should consist of EWR (early warning) radars to detect and track targets, accompanied by AWACS if your scenario forsees that. Ensure that your EWR radars have a good coverage of the area you want to track.
+--  **Location** is of highest importantance here. Whilst AWACS in DCS has almost the "all seeing eye", EWR don't have that. Choose your location wisely, against a mountain backdrop or inside a valley even the best EWR system
+--  doesn't work well. Prefer higher-up locations with a good view; use F7 in-game to check where you actually placed your EWR and have a look around. Apart from the obvious choice, do also consider other radar units
+--  for this role, most have "SR" (search radar) or "STR" (search and track radar) in their names, use the encyclopedia to see what they actually do.  
+--  
+-- ## 1.2 SAM sites
+-- 
+-- Typically your SAM should cover all attack ranges. The closer the enemy gets, the more systems you will need to deploy to defend your location. Use a combination of long-range systems like the SA-10/11, midrange like SA-6 and short-range like 
+-- SA-2 for defense (Patriot, Hawk, Gepard, Blindfire for the blue side). For close-up defense and defense against HARMs or low-flying aircraft, helicopters it is also advisable to deploy SA-15 TOR systems, Shilka, Strela and Tunguska units, as well as manpads (Think Gepard, Avenger, Chaparral, 
+-- Linebacker, Roland systems for the blue side). If possible, overlap ranges for mutual coverage.
+-- 
+-- ## 1.3 Typical problems
+-- 
+-- Often times, people complain because the detection cannot "see" oncoming targets and/or Mantis switches on too late. Three typial problems here are  
+--  
+--   * bad placement of radar units, 
+--   * overestimation how far units can "see" and 
+--   * not taking into account that a SAM site will take (e.g for a SA-6) 30-40 seconds between switching to RED, acquiring the target and firing. 
+-- 
+-- An attacker doing 350knots will cover ca 180meters/second or thus more than 6km until the SA-6 fires. Use triggers zones and the ruler in the missione editor to understand distances and zones. Take into account that the ranges given by the circles
+-- in the mission editor are absolute maximum ranges; in-game this is rather 50-75% of that depending on the system. Fiddle with placement and options to see what works best for your scenario, and remember **everything in here is in meters**.
+-- 
+-- # 2. Start up your MANTIS with a basic setting
+-- 
+--    `myredmantis = MANTIS:New("myredmantis","Red SAM","Red EWR",nil,"red",false)`
+--    `myredmantis:Start()`
+--    
+-- [optional] Use  
+-- 
+--  * `MANTIS:SetEWRGrouping(radius)`  
+--  * `MANTIS:SetEWRRange(radius)`  
+--  * `MANTIS:SetSAMRadius(radius)`  
+--  * `MANTIS:SetDetectInterval(interval)`
+--  * `MANTIS:SetAutoRelocate(hq, ewr)`
+--        
+-- before starting #MANTIS to fine-tune your setup.
+-- 
+-- If you want to use a separate AWACS unit (default detection range: 250km) to support your EWR system, use e.g. the following setup:
+-- 
+--    `mybluemantis = MANTIS:New("bluemantis","Blue SAM","Blue EWR",nil,"blue",false,"Blue Awacs")`
+--    `mybluemantis:Start()`
+--
+-- # 3. Default settings
+-- 
+-- By default, the following settings are active:
+--
+--  * SAM_Templates_Prefix = "Red SAM" - SAM site group names in the mission editor begin with "Red SAM"
+--  * EWR_Templates_Prefix = "Red EWR" - EWR group names in the mission editor begin with "Red EWR" - can also be combined with an AWACS unit
+--  * checkradius = 25000 (meters) - SAMs will engage enemy flights, if they are within a 25km around each SAM site - `MANTIS:SetSAMRadius(radius)`
+--  * grouping = 5000 (meters) - Detection (EWR) will group enemy flights to areas of 5km for tracking - `MANTIS:SetEWRGrouping(radius)`
+--  * acceptrange = 80000 (meters) - Detection (EWR) will on consider flights inside a 80km radius - `MANTIS:SetEWRRange(radius)`  
+--  * detectinterval = 30 (seconds) - MANTIS will decide every 30 seconds which SAM to activate - `MANTIS:SetDetectInterval(interval)`
+--  * engagerange = 75 (percent) - SAMs will only fire if flights are inside of a 75% radius of their max firerange - `MANTIS:SetSAMRange(range)`
+--  * dynamic = false - Group filtering is set to once, i.e. newly added groups will not be part of the setup by default - `MANTIS:New(name,samprefix,ewrprefix,hq,coaltion,dynamic)`
+--  * autorelocate = false - HQ and (mobile) EWR system will not relocate in random intervals between 30mins and 1 hour - `MANTIS:SetAutoRelocate(hq, ewr)`
+--  * debug = false - Debugging reports on screen are set to off - `MANTIS:Debug(onoff)`
+--
+-- # 4. Advanced Mode
+-- 
+--  Advanced mode will *decrease* reactivity of MANTIS, if HQ and/or EWR  network dies.  Awacs is counted as one EWR unit. It will set SAMs to RED state if both are dead.  Requires usage of an **HQ** object and the **dynamic** option.  
+--  E.g. `mymantis:SetAdvancedMode( true, 90 )`  
+--  Use this option if you want to make use of or allow advanced SEAD tactics.

+-- # The PROFILER Concept
+-- 
+-- Profile your lua code. This tells you, which functions are called very often and which consume most real time.
+-- With this information you can optimize the perfomance of your code.
+-- 
+-- # Prerequisites
+-- 
+-- The modules **os** and **lfs** need to be desanizied.
+-- 
+-- 
+-- # Start
+-- 
+-- The profiler can simply be started with the @{#PROFILER.Start}(*Delay, Duration*) function
+-- 
+--     PROFILER.Start()
+--    
+-- The optional parameter *Delay* can be used to delay the start by a certain amount of seconds and the optional parameter *Duration* can be used to
+-- stop the profiler after a certain amount of seconds.
+-- 
+-- # Stop
+-- 
+-- The profiler automatically stops when the mission ends. But it can be stopped any time with the @{#PROFILER.Stop}(*Delay*) function
+-- 
+--     PROFILER.Stop()
+--    
+-- The optional parameter *Delay* can be used to specify a delay after which the profiler is stopped.
+-- 
+-- When the profiler is stopped, the output is written to a file.
+-- 
+-- # Output
+-- 
+-- The profiler output is written to a file in your DCS home folder
+-- 
+--     X:\User\<Your User Name>\Saved Games\DCS OpenBeta\Logs
+-- 
+-- The default file name is "MooseProfiler.txt". If that file exists, the file name is "MooseProfiler-001.txt" etc.
+-- 
+-- ## Data
+-- 
+-- The data in the output file provides information on the functions that were called in the mission.
+-- 
+-- It will tell you how many times a function was called in total, how many times per second, how much time in total and the percentage of time.
+-- 
+-- If you only want output for functions that are called more than *X* times per second, you can set
+-- 
+--     PROFILER.ThreshCPS=1.5
+-- 
+-- With this setting, only functions which are called more than 1.5 times per second are displayed. The default setting is PROFILER.ThreshCPS=0.0 (no threshold).
+-- 
+-- Furthermore, you can limit the output for functions that consumed a certain amount of CPU time in total by
+-- 
+--     PROFILER.ThreshTtot=0.005
+-- 
+-- With this setting, which is also the default, only functions which in total used more than 5 milliseconds CPU time.

+-- # The MARKER Class Idea
+--
+-- The MARKER class simplifies creating, updating and removing of markers on the F10 map.
+--
+-- # Create a Marker
+--
+--     -- Create a MARKER object at Batumi with a trivial text.
+--     local Coordinate=AIRBASE:FindByName("Batumi"):GetCoordinate()
+--     mymarker=MARKER:New(Coordinate, "I am Batumi Airfield")
+--
+-- Now this does **not** show the marker yet. We still need to specifiy to whom it is shown. There are several options, i.e.
+-- show the marker to everyone, to a speficic coaliton only, or only to a specific group.
+--
+-- ## For Everyone
+--
+-- If the marker should be visible to everyone, you can use the :ToAll() function.
+--
+--     mymarker=MARKER:New(Coordinate, "I am Batumi Airfield"):ToAll()
+--
+-- ## For a Coaliton
+--
+-- If the maker should be visible to a specific coalition, you can use the :ToCoalition() function.
+--
+--     mymarker=MARKER:New(Coordinate, "I am Batumi Airfield"):ToCoaliton(coaliton.side.BLUE)
+--
+-- ### To Blue Coaliton
+--
+-- ### To Red Coalition

+-- This would show the marker only to the Blue coaliton.
+--
+-- ## For a Group

+--
+-- # Removing a Marker
+--
+--
+-- # Updating a Marker
+--
+-- The marker text and coordinate can be updated easily as shown below.
+--
+-- However, note that **updateing involves to remove and recreate the marker if either text or its coordinate is changed**.
+-- *This is a DCS scripting engine limitation.*
+--
+-- ## Update Text
+--
+-- If you created a marker "mymarker" as shown above, you can update the dispayed test by
+--
+--     mymarker:UpdateText("I am the new text at Batumi")
+--
+-- The update can also be delayed by, e.g. 90 seconds, using
+--
+--     mymarker:UpdateText("I am the new text at Batumi", 90)
+--
+-- ## Update Coordinate

+-- If you created a marker "mymarker" as shown above, you can update its coordinate on the F10 map by
+--
+--     mymarker:UpdateCoordinate(NewCoordinate)
+--
+-- The update can also be delayed by, e.g. 60 seconds, using
+--
+--     mymarker:UpdateCoordinate(NewCoordinate, 60)
+--
+-- # Retrieve Data
+--
+-- The important data as the displayed text and the coordinate of the marker can be retrieved easily.
+--
+-- ## Text
+--
+--     local text=mymarker:GetText()
+--     env.info("Marker Text = " .. text)
+--
+-- ## Coordinate
+--
+--     local Coordinate=mymarker:GetCoordinate()
+--     env.info("Marker Coordinate LL DSM = " .. Coordinate:ToStringLLDMS())
+--
+--
+-- # FSM Events
+--
+-- Moose creates addditonal events, so called FSM event, when markers are added, changed, removed, and text or the coordianteis updated.
+--
+-- These events can be captured and used for processing via OnAfter functions as shown below.
+--
+-- ## Added
+--
+-- ## Changed
+--
+-- ## Removed
+--
+-- ## TextUpdate
+--
+-- ## CoordUpdate
