Hi Thomas, Possibly, three separate commands. For those of us who are ok with x, y, and z axes can use one to get all three coordinates, those of us who aren't really used to the z axis can have one for the basic x and y coordinates, and the other for altitude.

Its a tough decision. Especially, since we are in the market of creating accessible games and sometimes that means just doing something automatically for the sake of accessibility verses a bit of realism. Speaking of altitude I've been thinking about that today. Since there is now going to be a 3d version of MOTA that means a 3d coordinates system. Instead of a 2d coordinate like 5 15 we are going to have a 3d coordinate like 5, 1, 15. It is possible to to break this down into two different commands one that gives the altitude and another that gives your position on the grid or we can just spit it out like 5, 1, 15. Any thoughts on this?
