scrummers 0 Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) So i have a question regarding the GPS. Does it tell you where other people are too? Cause when I open the map on my GPS i see an orange head and when I highlight them it just says man. Was wondering if this was anothe player?

TheGrapist 1 Posted September 1, 2012 The orange dots are just zombies in your area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scrummers 0 Posted September 1, 2012 Ahh ok thanks for help. First time i found a GPS got it at one of the fire stations at elektro. Barley had it 5 min and a guy ran right past me don't know how he didn't see me. So i booked it to the church. Also found a Czech Backpack in the office building. But it's getting way too dangerous. There has been about 5 gunfights luckily i haven't been in any.I am right now on top of the hospital. Debating if i should try and get some med supplies or just get the hell out of there.

You should get the hell out. Get med supplies on low cap servers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scrummers 0 Posted September 1, 2012 Another question about the GPS what do the big X's on certain places mean? On one server it was cherno and on another it is the airfield. Do they mean anything? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ipurgepeople 106 Posted September 1, 2012 Thats not a gps thing, that's a map note. Those are notes anyone with a map can place on the map. Problem is, anyone can see them, so it typically turns that place into a temporary hotspot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scrummers 0 Posted September 1, 2012 Ah I see. When you do shift click to set a marker only you can see that one right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ipurgepeople 106 Posted September 1, 2012 Only you can see the shift-clicked GPS marker, I believe.The double-click map marker is server-wide though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deathstrike616 32 Posted September 1, 2012 Yes... and the reason it says "Man" is because the zombies are actually, underneath the "zombie", just plain ARMA civilians/independents. That's why they say "Man" or "Citizen" on the map, and that's also why they can complain about pain (today I had a zombie that said "F*ck that hurts!" :D) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
