How does one find out their co-ordinates?

Recommended Posts

I've heard people like to stash their goodies far off the map, referring back to it only by their "coords"

I'm starting to overhaul with shit and I'm hiding my goodies in a far to obvious position on a fairly popular server, and I want to hide my stuff off the map.

However, I'll never be able to get back to it unless I can refer to these mythical co-ordinates.

I had a thought that maybe they show up as part of the GPS system that I have not yet acquired?

GPS - Gives you current co-ords.

Map (zoom in for smaller coordinates push M and mousewheel up or down I forget)

Use 'static' locations and compass bearings to find out your location (requires thought)

If you have a map, it's just like the cartesian coordinate system. X or the vertical part are the first digits, Y or the horizontal part are the second part of the whole coordinates.. example:

01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10

03

04

05 .

06

07

08

09

10

The dot is at grid reference or grid square 0205

yeah, basicly unless you have a GPS you will need to figure out where you are in the game, then find a secure place to pitch your tent.

So I could just think of my base location as..

Go to this landmark near the edge of the map, then run off directly north for a few miles

you are probably better off getting into the habit of putting a tent on the game map instead of off, because you never know if they are going to set up something that wipes clear all objects off the map.

Yes exactly - but as mentioned, putting tents outside of the "map" can be just as risky as putting it inside of it for their separate reasons.
