Galactic Coordinates are points used in navigation.

Summary

Galactic Coordinates are the points that can be extracted from a Signal Booster data string and used in a Coordinate Plotting App to acquire your Galactic Coordinate Position in a No Man's Sky galaxy.

When placed, a Signal Booster will display a Coordinate data string such as the one in the video below: HUKYA:046A:0081:0D6D:0038

Var name:	Scanner ID	X	Y	Z	Solar System Index
Substring	HUKYA	046A	0081	0D6D	0038
range for game values	(4-5 letters)	0..FFF	0..FF	0..FFF	1..2FF

The three sections in the middle (046A:0081:0D6D) can be entered into a Coordinate Plotting App to extrapolate an x, y, z position.

The last section (0038) is a Solar System Index and not necessary for galactic scale navigation. More research is being conducted by the Alliance of Galactic Travellers on their specific function.

In the game, the x, y and z (called VoxelX,VoxelY and VoxelZ) coordinates, together with the SolarSystemIndex, are internally referred to as GalacticAddress.

These Galactic Coordinates are crucial for long range galactic navigation. To learn more, visit the iVc Navigator's Guide

Wiki use

When entering coordinates on a wiki page, use the coords macro in the following format (the alpha parm is optional):

{{coords|046A|0081|0D6D|0038|alpha=HUKYA}}

will create this:

HUKYA:046A:0081:0D6D:0038

Additional information

• Coordinate Exchange is a reference page for exchanging coordinates.
• There are also planetary coordinates which provide similar navigation for planets.
• Portal Decoder is a special tool to convert between Galactic Coordinates and portal address.
