How to Use the GPS Locator in Sons Of The Forest
Players can put a stick on the ground vertically and then place their GPS locator on top of it. This will mark the location’s icon on your GPS. You can use these points to navigate around the map. Thanks to Steam community users for this tip!
You can use this mechanic to mark locations on the map. With this, you can return to this area later since it will be a marker on your minimap. Players can do this in important locations where they can find important resources or crafting materials.

How to Place GPS Locator on Companions
When you meet the three legged woman Virginia, you can open up her inventory and use the GPS locator, once she is your companion. Pick it up and place it on her body. Now you can track her via the map.
Initially, she will be scared of you and try to run off. But after a few days, she will stop running away after which you can gain her trust. Make sure that you treat her kindly and aren’t aggressive toward her. Definitely don’t try to kill her if you wish to have her as a companion. Whenever you see her, approach her without any weapon in your hand.
As soon as you are friendly with her, she won’t run away and you will see an interact button with a backpack icon on top of her.
You can then give her weapons if you’d like, but if you look at the open bag, there’s an icon that looks like a GPS locator, so you can place it there.
