This guide explains the usage of the GPS system in current SA-MP scripts. The GPS system can be used to locate a specific location on the map using the two provided coordinates, or get coordinates of player's current location. There are two commands to be aware of when using the GPS system:
There are two axis X and Y axis. Where the two axis cross each other there is coordinates (0, 0) And from the sketch below you can see, that X value increases to the right and Y value increases to upwards. Also you should know that we count bearings clockwise, so North is 0 (and 360), East is 90 degrees, South 180 degrees and West is 270 degrees.  On the San Andreas map it would look like this:  If someone gives you their coordinates, then you can already tell by looking by them on which of the 4 parts on the map they are on, and after you use /gpstrack, you get bearing. Remember when reading bearings North is 0, East is 90. |
