How do you group with friends? Find them etc

[Jayissuperman 0]

Am I missing something. How do you group with a friend if there is no map. Is there a way to group before sparing or something? How do you know how to find each other?

As said before, use http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus as map. Locate yourself by finding streetsigns.

Then just meet at a prefered place. This could be any town or hill for example.

Not knowing the map where my better days in game :(

Now it's like go to A go to B then visit C but not D nothing there done done done.

I think this can only be remedied by experience, start to learn the environment as if it were your hometown. Learn what the signs say and what towns they correspond to, look for landmarks and memorize them (green mountain, the airfields etc.), study the map when you have a bit of sparetime and try to figure out where you are. I'd recommend you start with the coastal area as that's where the new spawns spawn atm. and once that's becoming a second hometown look towards the westside of the map and work your way up north.

 

Back in the day I used a downloaded map to mark my travel routes. Once you get the hang of it you'll be able to rendezvous with your mates pretty quickly, if all else fails and you feel a bit cheaty you can just open up a map on a second screen, figure out where you and your friends are and group up somewhere.

meet at cherno... the closest place for fresh spawns

Even coming close the border of Cherno or Electro is just too dangerous, if you don't want to waste time with getting killed for your fireaxe.

But you can go and meet there with your friends for practicing though.
