How can I use the gps locator?
Apart from giving it to Virgina? It seems like it can be used for map markers but you cannot put it on anything. Is it not implimented yet?

Equip a stick & stake it into the ground vertically. Equip GPS tracker, & attach it at the top of the stick, you should see a visual prompt.

The current downside to the GPS trackers is that the thumbnail system is broken/bugged. Meaning, you can change the thumbnail image(which tells you what area-type/find the GPS indicator represents) that appears on your mini-map/GPS, but regardless of which image you select, only the green walkie-talkie image appears. So every GPS marker is indiscernable from the next. Good luck keeping track of which is which.

The GPS locator is a big buggy, you need to place a stick down on the ground and equip the locator, then place the locator on the stick. When I go to select the icon and place it, for some reason it defaults back to the green phone icon. Not sure why, but it is bugged out when selecting icons.

Overall you can still use it, just make sure to put rocks around the stick you placed so it doesn't fall over from walking or an AI hitting it. Hope this helps!
