<div>The GPS API provides a method for turtles and computers to retrieve their own locations.<br />
<br />
It broadcasts a PING message over [[Rednet_(API)|rednet]] and wait for responses. In order for this system to work, there must be at least 4 computers used as gps ''hosts'' which will respond and allow [[Wikipedia:Trilateration|trilateration]]. Three of these hosts should be in a plane, and the fourth should be either above or below the other three. You can set up hosts using the [[Gps (program)|gps program]].<br />
<br />
Note: When entering in the coordinates for the ''host'' you need to put in the x,y,z of the computer, not the modem, as all rednet distances are measured from the block the computer is in. <br />

''@param'' '''timeout''' the amount of time, in seconds, to wait for a rednet response<br /><br />
''@param'' '''debug''' if true, outputs debug messages<br /><br />
''@return'' the location (x, y, z) of the modem attached to the computer or turtle or nil if it could not be determined</td></tr><br />

== Example ==<br />
print("Man I am so lost right now!")<br />
local x, y, z = gps.locate(5)<br />
if x == nil then<br />
print("Nope, still lost :(")<br />
else<br />
print("I am at ",x," ",y," ",z)<br />
end<br />
<br />
== Vector Example ==<br />
GPS position and navigation can be handled more easily using a [[vector (API)|vector]].<br />
<br />
local home = vector.new(45, 85, 20)<br />
local position = vector.new(gps.locate(5))<br />
local displacement = position - home<br />
<br />
print("I am ", displacement.tostring(), " away from home!!!")<br />

Vectors act much like tables, storing the coordinate data with labels "x", "y" and "z". However, it can be worthwhile to use vectors instead of tables in certain situations.<br />
<br />
<br />
Among other things, vectors can be useful to aid in creating navigation algorithms using GPS coordinates.<br />
<br />
To transform GPS quickly into vector format, simply use:<br />
local a = vector.new(gps.locate())<br />
<br />
Then, getting the displacements between a turtle position and a desired location becomes:<br />
local b = vector.new(20, 85, 40)<br />
local c = a - b<br />
--displacement in the x direction: c.x<br />
--displacement in the y direction: c.y<br />
--displacement in the z direction: c.z<br />
<br />
By making use of vectors, code can be cleaner and easier to follow.</div>MafiaMoehttps://www.computercraft.info/wiki/index.php?title=Vector_(API)&diff=5157Vector (API)2013-02-23T15:42:05Z<p>MafiaMoe: </p>

<hr />
<div>The vector API provides methods to create and manipulate vectors.<br />
<br />
Among other things, vectors can be useful to aid in creating navigation algorithms using GPS coordinates.<br />
<br />
To transform GPS quickly into vector format, simply use:<br />
local a = vector.new(gps.locate())<br />
You can use vectors like a traditional table, but by using vectors you also gain the added functions provided in the Vector API.<br />
<br />
An introduction to vectors can be found on [[Wikipedia:Euclidean_vector|Wikipedia]].<br />
