Finding grid locations?

Avatar · 04-30-07, 12:41 PM

hello
I recieved a radio message from Athenia saying sss-sss-sss and a grid location. How do you find grid locations on the map? by grid locations I mean something like 08'070n 07'53e (I just made that up and I dont know where on earth it is, or even if it exists)

thanks

There are several web sites where you can enter that info (ie: Google Earth) and see where the location is. There's no way to see that on the SH chart that I know of...

Good Hunting!!

But even if you get to know the location it won't be useful since those message are only implemented to make the game feel more lively afaik.

Yep, eye candy but at the same time, more immersion
