Tell me about GPS

So i've got my self acquainted with the basics of coding a turtle. I have a turtle who will take a distance input and mine a 3x3 tunnel, placing torches every 5 blocks. Its pretty awesome actually and you all helped me get over the road bumps tipping me up.

Now though, I'm imagining something bigger. I'm thinking it would require GPS to get to work correctly. I basically want to set up a Turtle based Mail system that allows the bases in our world to shuttle items between them with the turtles, depositing items in to one chest and delivering the items found in another.

However I have no idea how GPS works…

Any thoughts or insights would be appreciated!

Read the wiki

When somebody wants their house on the mail network, you will have to add their pos in the world to a table filled with 'addresses'

A table of 'addresses' sounds like a good idea. I gave the wiki entry a read before posting, and placed some servers in the world, but they didn't seem to do much.

Oh this looks really helpful, I'll give it a read tonight! Thanks.

Maybe have a look at this topic. I made a basic script for turtle mail based on Files and Coords from Minimap.
i planned to implement GPS and Server based adress list but at the moment its just laying around somwhere :D/>

This is such a neat idea. I don't think anyone else has made a mail system with turtles before (Anyone correct me if i'm wrong :P/>) I would love to see it in action when it's completed ^_^/>
