Locating vehicles from Air or Ground

[danjpace@yahoo.com 0]

Sometimes vehciles show up on the map in blue or the Old Bike shows in Red, sometimes they dont and I would be within 100m. Is there a trick to have them show on map? or just a random occurance.

Flying over cities that could spawn a vehicle, what are some of the things you look for? Red and White vehicles show up pretty good but the camo ones like the UAZ or the Humvee sorta look like everything else that was blown up during the outbreak. I cant tell the difference unless I'm like right next to it and it gives me the click options.

Just wondering if there are suggestion while I'm vehcile hunting?

Thanks in advance.

On the map, that's a feature that some servers have enabled, but most I've seen have it disabled. It basically works as if your character visually can seen the vehicle, or player for that matter, it will show up on the map and can be tracked for a short time.

Spotting things in game however, that just takes practice and knowledge of where to look and what to look for. It comes in time.

You can use this website to check for the vehicle spawns: http://dayzdb.com/map

It's a great tool to use if you're just starting out. You can also check to see what buildings spawn what types of loot, find gas stations, and etc.

Be aware, that some of the spawns may not be the same on the map if you are playing on a private hive due to admins adding in or taking out vehicles to the map.
