visibleMap does not work in all cases where a map might be part of a dialog like in a uav terminal or in a artillery computer dialog. Some of these cases can be covered with an addMissionEventHandler of type "Map". Just use the two magic variables 'mapIsOpened' and 'mapIsForced'. Skeleton might look something like
// update marker as long as map is open (works for uav stations as well) J_myGPSEH = addMissionEventHandler ["Map", { params ["_mapIsOpened", "_mapIsForced"]; if (_mapIsOpened) then { systemChat "GPS aktiv"; J_var_GPSOn = true; // no sheduled environment -> create one /* Triggered when map is opened or closed either by user action or script command openMap. */ [] spawn { waitUntil{ ... // do something as long as map is open; not J_var_GPSOn }; }; } else { J_var_GPSOn = false; systemChat "GPS inaktiv"; }; }];
