Hi im new with the mod and i want to use the gps command to locate my Turtles. So I put 3 computer with gps host, (using the x y z ) but every time i run gps locate only give meter from the host and "Could not determine position" (I have tried in diferents places and with cpu and turtles)
I have done something wrong or its a bug?

First thing to check, are all the chunks with the hosts in loaded? basically, if you can't see all 3 hosts, assume they are not loaded and therefore not working. I also recomend adding a fourth GPS transmitter, helps a lot with 3d triangulation as sometimes you can get two possible answers with just 3 if modems are at similar heights.

maybe your hosts aren't in exact fit and this prevents the turtle from being sure where it is?

Yeah, basically, you need to have atleast 3 hosts with different x co-rds, 3 with different y, 3 with different z. All in all, if you use just 3 hosts and make sure none of them share a x, y or z value, it should be alright with just the 3. :(/>/>
