Enhancement: Non linear tracks in GS using CP courses #231

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. As user I like to use GPS on not straight lines. For this purpose a second mode for track handling of GS will be great, that allows me to follow non straight tracks.

Describe the solution you'd like Obviously the generation of not straight lines into GS would generate serious efforts. For this reason I would enjoy a solution, where GS is loading generated and already saved Courseplay (CP) courses. After loading the course GS shall act very simple: If I activate GS with a loaded CP course, the tractor/combine follows the CP path (always the nearest point in front of the machine +1). The line count of GS is only second priority, because this feature will be most important for headland works or compareable actions. Also a implementation to ProSeed Auto Modus is not necessary. The AutoStop function of GS would be nice, but might need no adjustment, because it's already working based on the ground texture as far as I assume. Show Lines might be able to display the CP Course.

Describe alternatives you've considered An alternative would be to implement a full GS course generator, but that's not a good solution from my point of view, because CP already has a good working one, that can be used based on the file structure CP uses to save the courses. Disadvantage is that if CP changes the way they save the courses actions in GS have to follow (more maintenance).

Additional context Just an idea, that might work without high efforts and delivering one of the most missed features to GS.
