- HOW TO FIND & USE GPS RECEIVERS: 🗺️📟
GPS RECEIVERS are one of the most underrated new items available and an essential tool in a survivor’s arsenal. When activated, the receiver will display your survivor’s exact coordinates. Used in conjunction with a TOURIST MAP, players can effectively navigate the expansive landscape and precisely articulate their positions to other survivors.
To effectively utilize this tool you will need:
⭕ GPS RECEIVER
⭕ 9 VOLT BATTERY
⭕ TOURIST MAP
SOURCING ITEMS:
GPS RECEIVERS and TOURIST MAPS spawn in hunting areas, such as:
⭕ GENERAL STORES
⭕ HUNTING CABINS
⭕ HUNTING STANDS
⭕ FEED STANDS
⭕ HIKING REST AREAS
9 VOLT BATTERIES can be found in abundance throughout Chernarus & Livonia. I typically find them in outhouses and inside flashlights, rangefinders and headtorches.
To expedite your search efforts, travel to outdoorsman resorts and campgrounds. These locations contain multiple hunting cabins and lodges, as well as generally being surrounded by hunting stands and feed shacks.
Once you’ve sourced the necessary equipment, take the GPS RECEIVER to your hands, ensure the battery is attached and follow the cue to “SWITCH ON” the device.
Displayed on the device will be your survivors coordinates in the format of X and Y. Along with your current altitude above sea level. With your GPS still powered on, return it to your inventory and take the TOURIST MAP to your hands. Follow the prompt to “VIEW” the map to open the overlay.
Let’s peruse the elements of the map overlay beginning with the LEGEND or KEY. The circled area here is the compass. The NEEDLE will be dialed to the direction in which your survivor’s torso is facing. The number centered within the housing is your orientation in degrees clockwise from 0-360.
Within the GRID SECTOR section of the key will be displayed your X and Y coordinates. Also known as your EASTINGS and NORTHINGS. Which I’ll explain in detail momentarily. Your coordinates are displayed in decimal format. To avoid any unnecessary confusion, ignore these decimal points. Instead, use the integer value when discerning your location on the grid map. For example, 0.84 should be read as 84 and 1.18 should be read as 118.
HOW TO READ A GRID MAP:
Next, let’s learn how to read a grid map. Grid Maps are read differently from cartography charts. Allow me to explain. Gridlines do not indicate longitude and latitude. Instead, grid maps provide EASTINGS and NORTHINGS.
EASTINGS:
These vertical grid-lines are called EASTINGS, because they run east from west.
NORTHINGS:
The horizontal grid lines are called NORTHINGS, because they run north from south.
When reading grid references, we always read the EASTINGS first and the NORTHINGS second.
ORIGIN:
The intersecting point, or ORIGIN of the given NORTHING and EASTING will be your survivor’s location.
With that in mind, let’s use what we’ve covered to determine where we are in Livonia using the available coordinates.
We’ll begin by zooming into the map completely to reveal the refined grid sectors. We have an X value of 0.84 and a Y value of 1.18. Let’s lose those decimal points like we spoke about earlier and we’re left with an EASTING of 084 and a NORTHING of 118.
Beginning with the EASTING, we’ll search along the top of the map to locate 084 and draw an imaginary vertical line from top to bottom like so. Now for our NORTHING of 118, we’ll search along the sides from south to north to find 118. Draw another horizontal imaginary line across the map from side to side.
At the intersection of the two lines, you have deduced your survivor’s location.

⚠UPDATE: ⚠
⭕The compass orientation will only appear in the overlay legend if you have a compass in your inventory.
Is that bad?
Nice tutorial. I’m glad this was added to the game. I served in the US Army and we used grease pencils in the field to mark maps and overlays. It would be amazing to have these in-game to be able to mark our maps.
Pens used to be in the game as well as the ability to create notes. They have yet to be reimplemented though, unfortunately.
Sheesh. So much for finding out your location.. i used to read town signs and look at the ingame map and nothing else
Gonna use this GPS to find my dad
I had no idea the gps had to be left on LOL. Thanks!
Finally the map has a use
I appreciate you putting this one out there!! This helped me
I'm happy it helped, Troy!
I have around 600+ hours in this game and only by now I started playing on official servers because all the modded community servers were too easy for me. I never really used in-game GPS/map before so this guide was pretty helpful, thanks.
Glad it helped, sir.
You are a different human on your videos compared to your streams. I love your streams.
You smell different when you're awake.
My 2 years of Public Speaking classes come in handy during my presentations.
@@raze4789 I stink whether I’m sleeping or awake. 😂
@@ArchieStormcloudOfficial It makes you sound more civilized brother. 😂
Nice one. I have to say, I was kinda disappointed that there weren't any of the usual alliterative licks or witty lines that help make your guide vids the best on the tubes
Man, I tried to find something snarky to sneak in but nothing came to mind.
Such a good video! Great job.
Glad you enjoyed it, Roeder!
Super helpful, thank you for this video. very clear instructions.
You're very welcome!
Precise and concise, always good stuff.
yum
Damn you are teaching kids how to use Army land navigation 😂 this video gave me flashbacks from PLDC. We had to pass land nav to become Sergeants.
Hope you passed, Sarn.
@ArchieStormcloudOfficial Yes sir.... years ago 😆 this was a grear video and very well explained man. I'm an old guy, but just an 80 hr noobie and this game got me hooked badly.
very clear Explaining dud . Thanks For Your Time For US . To make This Expalining Video
great explanation. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
finna get me a gps to use in real life and when people call an ask where im at......ima respond with coordinates
".28 .42 northwest airfield"
"Bro I asked where you want to meet wtf does that mean?"
"Follow the west coast north until you hit zabolotye then head east"
"Bruh."
That's dope fr
There’s not one single smartphone without gps
LOL
I used to use a map and compass to navigate me and my family through cities and highways across the country for vacation before smartphones were widely available. I around 8 years old at the time.
Amazing video
This helped so much
You just got a new sub
On consoles the map is useless because the grid numbers are not showing because they are outside of the border of the screen for some reason
*Opens up iZurvive Interactive Map
I love the new GPS. Can't wait to extort base coords
That moment you play Livonia for the first time, find a gps, forgot to watch this video, run northeast and end up in no mans land beyond the map border and the gps stops giving you x and y lol
great video
Thanks dude
nice edit, take my like sir
Awesome.
Thanks.
You're welcome!
Second
Nice
Ty. Very helpful.
What's the max coordinates for the NW most point and SE most point on the map of Chernarus?
thanks a lot it was so easy
Glad it helped, Flavour.
Archie , thnx for the guide video’s
You planning on making some more ?
Would be amazing dude
I am, yes. Whenever the devs add new content.
Thxn man
Thank you so much!❤
You're welcome 😊
What is a z cordinate
First
Thanks!
No problem!
Archie have you noticed any instances where the GPS gives bad coordinates if the unit is damaged?
I have not.
1:00 Also in the funfair palces.
Thank you, Steak.
I have to try use GPS ,
Actually on console you'll show up on the map as a red circle if u have both gps on and map and compass
Fr?
@@nono-bh7ut if u have all of it yes
@@DbZ-Legend1 dam jus need a compass rn then
I don't get someone find me loot how come ?
Can you fix a compass with an electrical kit?
No if you find a prestige compass it will last a long time
Ignore the zero ⭐ Tnx alot
I have a screenshot of a specific coordinate of where I left a car. I am trying to find this specific place again. How can I do this?
Follow this video, step by step and you find it.
On maps, there’s some X’s on buildings. Do you know what they mean?
Usually denotes food.
How to read a map! Right,up!
Iv seen old players say "how is this useful, just use izurvive"
But when you travel by the trees like me to avoid humans 😂😂 exact location is nice vs guessing
Izurvive is still better imo as one doesn't need to go into the map screen and can remain vigilant, but it is definitely a nice touch
I have 8,000+ hours and still get lost in Livonia WITH iZurvive.
lol i was think it was coordinates of some secret place hahah
So it’s available on Chernarus ? The GPS Receiver could be find on any official map ?
I just found one on Dayz Experimental on Xbox, in Chernarus
They’ll be available on all stable servers on October 18th.
Why is it the opposite of x and y, also the opposite of North and east? Who created this system?
The military, I'd imagine.
So you have to have a map for the GPS to be useful? I just found a battery for my GPS but I have no map. I'm listening to this again and I didn't eve notice that you call the parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude eastings and northings. Did I miss why you call them this? I mean this is very strange to me. Why would anyone change the names of these grid lines?
use izurvive and enter the coordinates
@@mr.anonymouse2469 Using a secondary map outside of the game is not something I will do.
Lol.. ok, you must be dying quite often then
@@andresmanzano1138 Depends on the server.
@@KoolBreeze420 Yeah you and me both. But I think with GPS players can write down the coordinates and will end up in the same spot if they attempt to follow them back to that exact location.
They are Easter egg on the back of the GPS receiver
Please expound.
@@ArchieStormcloudOfficial there something under rubber cover
Does it matter which compass you have?
Nope.
On xbox, you just need the map and that's it. It show you your direction and coordinates. I hate it, it's just makes having the GPS and compass useless. The map shouldn't tell you where you are at unless you have the gps and as well it shouldn't show you your general direction unless you have the compass.
i found my gps under a cunoe thats beside a lake. its possible to find a gps there too
Someone probably dropped it there.
@@ArchieStormcloudOfficial or its custom spawns from the server
My map does not have the easting or northing numbers on the grid
Mine either but I play on Xvox
Do you have the GPS receiver powered on?
@@Jay_Bigfoot It's the same thing on ps4
Thank god for that, i thought it was just me
@@marckealey7510 I think that on console version the game screen isn't scaled properly to the borders of the monitor
Does this work on modded maps tho
It should.
Father I am back from the grave I am an OG from Twitch Papa Archibald Storm cloud I am a permanent Resident Of The Gun Boat I miss the press vest and the Taxi Overlay
17th
they could have just made a red dot show on the map, when gps is switched on. this is deadly lol
They have it now I’m pretty sure. On the server I play on at least on xbox
on my server the legend key isnt showing up on maps
You have to have a compass in your inventory. They slipped that little update in recently.
My GPS screen is blank when I turn it on ?
Same wtf
I think we need more like the map and the compass I hope
Are you playing on modded servers?
Does it have a battery?
Is the battery dead?
Mines blank too. Normal server & battery is fine. 🤷🏻♂️
@@ArchieStormcloudOfficial have the battery and it’s not dead - tried it in my head lamp to see if it works
I hope the modded servers remove their map mods and use this
Found the video useful, found the GPS receiver not so useful 🥴🤦♂️🤣
Ahh basic map skills. Now ppl I've played with for over 3yrs that still use a compass can Griswald their way
💦💦💦
This blows! I thought the receiver was going to be connected to izurvive and easily find the player. 🤦🤣🤣
Haven't checked ingame yet but according to the grid on the in-game map, it's the same as the grid on iZurvive when zoomed in so it should work
It does work with izurvive
Hail Hydration
hail
Bro do you even know what "momentarily" means?
No. Please help.
@@ArchieStormcloudOfficial there is nothing worst then being ignorant and pretend to be right. lol
@@tfstoxic6383 Here. I copied it from Google.
_Momentarily_
*adverb*
*NORTH AMERICAN*
At any moment; very soon.
"My husband will be here to pick me up momentarily"
"there is nothing _worst then_ being ignorant and _pretend_ to be right. lol"
Ironic.
dude got triggered from someone using the word "momentarily" wrong 😐
