[Suggestion] GPS Application for iOS & Android
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

My apologies for not posting this in the suggestions thread (if there is one, I couldn't find it).

Anyway, the point is to win you over with my thought on a GPS or Friend-Finder app for your smartphone. I think this would be a great idea so you can form groups on the app and track each other on the map you see with your phone. Something like 'iZurvive' but actually interacts with the game and keeps a real-time pinpoint on the map.

I understand if you do not want this as it defeats the purpose of the in-game map being rare to find as well as defeating the purpose to trust strangers as you would know that this is your friend and not a bandit.

You decide,
Lachlan300.

Perhaps you could find a GPS which gives you access to the mobile app.

I would prefer the option to mark the maps you find with the pen

It's a stupidest idea for this game i have ever heard.It's against the whole concept of using map, compass and knowing your position. If you can play this kind of game like ARMA you won't need this kind of stuff. Besides, there is a GPS in arma 2 and from what i know it will be implemented in DayZ SA too, so if you and your friends will find it, you can easily say one to another EXACTLY where each of you is. Otherwise you have to use the map, and this is most awesome part of the game. I mean in-game map, not any of these lame online maps. It also gives you opportunity to lear how to navigate IRL, cause this aspect is kinda realistic. With your idea, all this would go screw itself.
