GPS works like this - Say you're a airlift rescuer. Someone is lost at sea. You could ask that person via radio or phone for their GPS coordinates. What they would do is type /gps, which will show his / her x and y coordinates, and then give you the coordinates. Once you have the coordinates, type /gpstrack [x coord. here] [y coord. here], and you will be guided there, and rescue the lost sailor.

That was one of the many uses for gps.

NOTE: You MUST buy a GPS from an electronics store before using!

As of right now, there is no use for the TV. There are plans for it in the future though. Click. (http://www.argonathrpg.eu/forum/index.php?topic=31069.0)

The x coordinate measures East to West. 0 is at Blueberry, going to around -3000 and 3000 either side.
Same thing for the y coordinate, North and South.

The direction is in degrees.
0 is North of you.
90 is East of you.
180 is South of you.
270 is West of you.
360 is 0, and hence North of you.

Distance is how far away they are.

If you can't work it out from this, don't use the GPS. :poke: :lol:
