How do I see myself on the DayZ map?

[lankfordj3]

I know there isnt a specific marker for player but is there any way to tell where u are if your just in a small town or something?

You got to know the map that's it

Yeah, in the mod and in other Arma games, you'd use a Map and a GPS system to pin point your location. However, GPS aren't implimented in Day Z yet and we don't know if they will be.

Most places (but not all) have a sign signifying the name of the town at the city limits - just go to dayzdb.com and find it on the map. :j

That maps still useful but when the games finished, i think it's going t be redundant. I mean, like now for instance what with loot not spawning at Deer Stands. It's still nice to use as a range finder though since there isn't one in game.

@Cadderley-
I turn the loot off since it is so outdated anyway - just use it for navigation... even at that the more you play and move around the dayz world the less you need a map. :j

Yeah, I'm using road signs, land marks and sound effects etc... As guides now, as well as visual aids in the design of the houses to help determine which ones I loot 1st.

yer the dayzdb map is good to check for were abouts but i just mainly use a compass to make sure im heading in right direction, i dont use ingame maps and only dayzdb map to check town names, 90% of the time i know were im going
