Points indicator panel

A little background; I am using (2) Piko 35260 Switch Control boxes on my layout to control 8 points. Three of the points are in the shed train yard. The other 5 are on the layout but some are difficult to see from the control box location. I have seen Switch control panels with LED indicators to show the direction the switch is in on smaller scale layouts but have not seen anything comparable for G scale. Is there a product that can be connected to the Piko switch control box that can indicate the switch direction for each individual switch, or is there a circuit design I can add to the switches to power on LEDs showing direction on a map? I'm hoping this makes sense.

Thanks
Tim

Well, there are a couple of things here.... firstly, do you need a "simple indicator" or a "tally indicator"? A simple indicator just tells you the button was pressed, while a tally indicator will confirm the point has actually thrown to the desired position.

Tally indicators need more "stuff" but are better operationally.... and if that is what you do need, what devices are you using the throw those remote points?
