So, i am making a program that using the GPS and rednet functions. I also installed the 'Goto" program onto my turtle.

I have a pocket computer APP and a turtle APP that work together, i have the pocket computer sending rednet messages to the turtle telling the turtle where to go i have it so i can type in 'home' and 'store' and it will fly/pathfind there. i want to make it so i can type 'me' and then the turtle locates me, i have a GPS system hooked up already, i just cant seem to find a way to give my coords to the turtle through rednet. Thanks in advance

If you want the code, here they are

Please don't bump your topic to add visibility. Be patient, and someone will help you.
Unfortunately, I don't work too much with the GPS system in ComputerCraft, or I would help you out.

Not so much related to the GPS as just rednet in general really. You can just send the result of gps.locate over rednet.

local tPos = {}
tPos.x,tPos.y,tPos.z = gps.locate()
if not tPos.x then
  --GPS failed
  return
end
rednet.send(id,tPos)

local _id,tPos = rednet.receive()
turtle.moveTo(tPos.x,tPos.y,tPos.z) --or however your turtle commands work.

or just have it send three rednet messages to the turtle for your x,y,z

for the turtle it would look something like

function goToMe()
  sid,  x, d = rednet.receive()
  sid,  y, d = rednet.receive()
  sid,  z, d = rednet.receive()
  goto(x,y,z)
end

It's definitely easier and quicker to send the coordinates as a single table rather than three individual messages.

local pos = vector.new(gps.locate())
if pos.y == 0 then
  return
end
rednet.send(pos)
