i use the app izurvive. they also have a website izurvive.com. it has the russion and english names for the town abd lets you start a group and place marker so you can see where you and your friends are or where the meeting point is. it's a free app and really helpful.

Every sign ive looked at has been correct, like i said when i was lost for 3hours one sign helped me find out where i was and i then used my compas to go the direction i needed to.

On the map Chernogorsk or whatever its called is in english alphabet

on the sign its just gobbldy ♥♥♥♥, and it seems rather dangerous to be switching out to look at a russian converter to figure out where i am, and i dont really want to have to learn a new alphabet to play a video game that is more or less in english anyways, thats more effort than the game is worth in my opinion

just check out izurvive app it work onphone, table and computer and has english and russion names. finding an app like that is the best you will get until you play long enough to just know the whole map. it also shows gun locations and water locations.

Learn the Cyrillic Alphabet. I knew it and Russian for a reletively long time. You don't need to know Russian to transliterate it to the English Latin Alphabet. This should help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_alphabet

Not only will it allow you to read the signs in the game, it's also one of the first steps to learning a new language whether it be Russian, Bulgarian, or any other language that uses the Cyrillic alphabet.

I think the spelling is off a little bit, I look at the sign in the game and then back to the google dayz map and back in forth a few times and finally I go ahh here I am.

To another point I guess you could argue we all have to deal with it which makes if fair, but it certainly doesn't make it funner. maybe if you know russian I think you will be a little bit happier with it.

Tell me who has found all 4 pieces of the map in the game and actually used it, no one likely as you don't live that long. Just make it the whole map when you find it, not a 1/4th of it. It's pretty much useless as everyone just uses google so make the map actaully something we can use in the game. But I understand rocket is trying to make you search for stuff but the map is pretty much useless in the game the way it stands now.

I mean it's a game, there is no reason they can't put in some english under the russian titles to make everyones life easier. All russian in the game is about the dumbest thing I can possibly think of doing. Most people playing the game speak english, shouldn't the dev team take that into consideration. And I don't even think gps tracking would be bad. I mean no more satalites in post apocolypse, really. If they can stick maps in cars they can also put gps in cars or in barracks. And stop putting a piece of the map here and there, your dead before you every complete the whole map. And then again everything is in russian again which is just plain dumb. It's a game, it isn't even close to real so help us enjoy the game more so we don't have to waunder around aimlessly for an hours with our head up our rump and finally find some russian sign we have to look at 20 times try match of with a russian map on google.

I never played until Standalone. It has taking me a good 7 days to feel pretty comfortable with my spawn locations. I do not want english in game. It's called immersion. Must every game hold our damn hands?

1. Go here: http://dayzdb.com/map/chernarusplus

2. Pay attention to whats around you, are you near the sea? is the sun rising or setting (rises in the West, sets in the East) is ther large buildings near by, or just houses.

3. Run to one end or the other of the nearest town or city and find a white or blue road sign (rectangular) blue being more usefull as you can triangulate your position based on other cities, remember its easy to find names by thier length and the last few characters of the city name.

3.5. If you find a blue road sign you are going to be at a crossroad of some kind meaning you can triangulate then find the specific crossroad that blue sign is at.

4. Pay attention to where you go from there.

I just got this game a few days ago and can navigate perfectly fine using this method, I have no previous experience with DayZ

Problem solved :)

Hope this helps your lost people.

Yeah they could leave it the way it is since it's not in the usa. So i guess we need a usa map after they are in beta with this one, that would be cool.

There is no need for enlish version of the signs, as said its about realism and emerson, if your unable to translate a sign then maybe you should find another game.

Eventually you will know where you are by sight, and signs wont matter.
