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?

Finding the coords of the turtle.

Setup 4 or more gps host within the turtles modem range and use the following command to get the x,y,z of the turtle.

local x,y,z = gps.locate()

A hacky way would be to write a program in startup that over-writes the gps functions/turtle movement functions. The movements would edit a file containing coords. And the gps would return those coords.

There's no need to do that you can just make an API with modified functions that do just as you say and call them instead of the original gps functions. That way if you have a need for the original gps functions they are still there.
