Can GPS track other players?

I was using my GPS to find out which town I was near. When I pulled it up, there were two moving markers both labeled 'Man'. There were also Zed's running about even though I was a good 500m away. So can I really see players or is this a bug, exploit, or server specific thing?

I'm not entirely sure but I'm pretty sure on some servers that have the option turned on you can see other players or zombies on your map (and probably your GPS as well.) In my experience when a marker on the map has said "Man" it was a zombie. I believe other players are marked as "Survivor."

Yes you can. My friend could see me on his map, we had to be close or within sight. Also, the server must allow location dots. However, I'm talking about the fullscreen map and not the little gps window.

it kind of work like this, orange (man) is zombie, blue (survivor) is another player.

you can only see zombies on the map that can see you, not all servers have this.
