Skizzy 0 Posted June 20, 2012 Yeah I figured that one out. But it dosent work when I try to use it with my map it says 813 bt 891 which are unreal numbers.. is it because I spawned in that field? I hope I dont have to respawn and lose all my gear Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wüstenfuchs (DayZ) 105 Posted June 20, 2012 Are you talking about compass or GPS?Compass only shows you the bearing/azimuth/direction, not the coordinates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skizzy 0 Posted June 20, 2012 No I have a Compass a GPs and a few weeks ago it worked I played last night and now nothing works Im also in some empty field and my cords are all wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wüstenfuchs (DayZ) 105 Posted June 20, 2012 Hmm alright, the GPS coordinates 813 891 sounds like you are way off the map to south-east.. Are you in an empty field without any objects around you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wüstenfuchs (DayZ) 105 Posted June 20, 2012 8xx would be 80 kilometers away from the map area, if that is correct. :)Another option is that you are in the "debug field" North-West of the map, below 0 coordinates, and the coordinates become 8xx there. You might want to try to head South-East for several kilometers until you see some trees. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skizzy 0 Posted June 20, 2012 I have the newest patch I also have steam but I use Six Launcher.. I really dont want to respawn or run 80 kilometers lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wüstenfuchs (DayZ) 105 Posted June 20, 2012 It might be that you only have to run about 20km, try running towards the 999 / 999 coordinates (South-East), that might turn out to be next to 0 / 0 coordinates at the North-West corner of the map. This is just my guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dallas 5195 Posted June 20, 2012 Debug wilderness should be somewhere NW, if you head SE it should take you 1-2 hours to run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tallpoppy 19 Posted June 21, 2012 813 891the 813 is the numbers along the top of the map (eastings) as they go higher as you go east. if you zoom out you see only 2 that would be the 81.the 891 is your northingsthe numbers on the side of your screen. as they SHOULD go higher as you go north but they don't in this game so we will call them SOUTHINGS. I suggest you look at some you tube video's or websites on how to make and use grid references both 4 and 6 figure. but remember that in this GAME the NORTHINGS are back to front and the grid square is calculated from the TOP LEFT. and not Bottom left like it is is real life. also the numbers are centred on the square where as IRL they are on the actual lines. but as others have said you are very NW of the map (when zoomed out). and running SE will get you there eventually you will also proberly find some vehicles hidden about too which will make your trip all the more easier.
