You'll notice it didn't ''quite'' land at 100 100, did it? This is because of the slight inaccuracies of the teleporter. However! Using the test GPS you just sent, you can calculate the difference, like so! All you have to do is '''subtract the console co-ordinates (100 100) from the test number.''' Whatever comes out is your difference. Here's an example: | You'll notice it didn't ''quite'' land at 100 100, did it? This is because of the slight inaccuracies of the teleporter. However!

Now, to overcome the inaccuracy of the teleporter, all you have to do is apply this difference to your desired co-ordinates. For example, if I wanted to get to 95 150, and I had a difference of +7 -2, I would set the console to send me to 102 148! This will in fact send me directly to my desired location, 95 150, as we have now accommodated for the inaccuracies! | Now, to overcome the inaccuracy of the teleporter, all you have to do is apply this difference to your desired co-ordinates.
