I want to make a program, and I need the turtle to return to a certain spot. I need the program to find out this spot itself. IS there any way to do that?

possibly, it depends how you mean by make the computer "get the coordinate it's self", if you mean check for a nearby valid location then no, I don't thing so, but if you mean save a coordinate from earlier on then yes, you can…

You can use a few computers as a gps server and use 3dvectors and the distances from each computer to the turtle to find it's cordinates.

there's a pretty good GPS array launcher that lets a turtle set up a GPS array (with boot disks so that they always serve GPS) at the maximum height (for maximum coverage).
