 Another key feature of maps are coordinates which allow you to tell others your exact position on the map or find locations on the map based on coordinates. The coordinates for each square are displayed on the sides of the map. The horizontal sides of the map (top and bottom side) is the X-Axis where as the vertical sides (left the right side) are the Y-Axis. Both sides show the same number and refer to the same square.
-When you are zoomed out you will only see big squares which represent 1km² on the map. (We will talk about this in the next section). The coordinates of these squares consist of a pair of two digits: 00,00.

 As you zoom in the big squares will be divided in to 10 smaller squares representing 100m² on the map. The coordinates of those squares consist of a pair of three digits: 000,000.
-You should always send other players you coordinates in three digits.
