Frequently Asked Questions

What do the numbers in the GPS spawn command mean?

In cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponGPS 1 0 0, the code identifies the GPS, then the three numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag (0 = item, 1 = blueprint). So it spawns one standard GPS.

What's the numeric item ID of the GPS?

The numeric item ID for the GPS is 71. Use it with GiveItemNum, cheat GiveItemNum 71 1 0 0, to spawn by ID instead of by GFI name.

How do I enable admin commands to spawn the GPS?

In single-player, cheats are on by default. On a dedicated or hosted server, log in as admin first with enablecheats <AdminPassword>, then run the GPS spawn command. Without admin access the console rejects it.

What is the admin command to spawn the GPS?

Open the admin console and run cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponGPS 1 0 0. That gives you one GPS instantly. The three numbers after the code are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag. Raise the first to spawn a stack, or set the last to 1 to receive it as a blueprint instead of a finished item. Verified against the current ARK: ASA build as of June 28, 2026.

What is the GPS class used for in mods or spawn tools?

Spawn managers, loot-table editors, and RCON macros reference the GPS by its class PrimalItem_WeaponGPS_C or GFI PrimalItem_WeaponGPS. Both uniquely identify it in ARK: Survival Ascended.

What does the GPS do in ARK: Survival Ascended?

A handheld GPS device that marks waypoints on the server map, essential for navigation and base coordination.

Where can I copy the GPS spawn command?

Use the copy buttons in the Spawn Commands and Blueprint Path sections near the top of this page. Each copies the full GPS command to your clipboard in one click, ready to paste into the console.

Is the GPS blueprint path case-sensitive?

Yes. "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Test/PrimalItem_WeaponGPS.PrimalItem_WeaponGPS'" must be typed exactly, including capitalization and the wrapping quotes. Copy it from this page to avoid a typo that returns an empty spawn.

Which game is the GPS from?

The GPS is from ARK: Survival Ascended. Every ID, code, and command on this page is specific to ARK: Survival Ascended and its current live build.

What's the difference between GFI and GiveItemNum for the GPS?

Both spawn the GPS. gfi PrimalItem_WeaponGPS matches the item by name and is quickest to type; GiveItemNum 71 uses the numeric ID and is precise for scripting. Same result, different lookup.

Does the GPS spawn command work in single-player and multiplayer?

Yes, the command is identical in both. Single-player has cheats enabled by default; multiplayer just requires an admin login first. The GPS then spawns the same way.

What's the GPS GFI short code?

The GFI code for the GPS is PrimalItem_WeaponGPS. GFI matches the item by its short blueprint name, so cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponGPS 1 0 0 is the fastest way to spawn it without typing the full blueprint path.

How do I spawn the GPS as a blueprint instead of a finished item?

Set the final argument to 1: cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponGPS 1 0 1. The last number is the blueprint flag, where 0 gives the crafted item and 1 gives its blueprint (for craftable items; on items with no blueprint the flag is simply ignored).

Why isn't my GPS spawn command working?

Check three things: admin access is enabled (enablecheats on servers), the code is typed exactly (PrimalItem_WeaponGPS), and all three trailing numbers are present. Copying cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponGPS 1 0 0 directly from this page avoids the most common mistakes.

Can I spawn the GPS over RCON or on a dedicated server?

Yes. Send the same command through RCON or your control-panel console: cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponGPS 1 0 0. If your tool already runs with admin context, drop the leading "cheat". It works the same on hosted, self-hosted, and RCON setups.

How do I spawn a higher-quality GPS?

The second number is quality, where 0 is primitive and higher values roll toward ascendant. cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponGPS 1 100 0 attempts a top tier GPS. Quality only affects items that support tiers; on others it's ignored.

What's the GPS class name?

The class name for the GPS is PrimalItem_WeaponGPS_C. Class names end in _C and identify the item's blueprint at runtime, which makes them useful for spawn tools, mods, and RCON macros.

How do I give the GPS to another player?

Look at the player and run cheat GiveItemToPlayer <PlayerID> 71 1 0 0, or stand near them and use cheat GiveItemNum 71 1 0 0 after selecting them in your admin tools. It's the quick way to hand out the GPS during events and giveaways.

How do I open the console to spawn the GPS?

On PC, press Tab to open the admin console, paste the command, and press Enter. On Xbox and PlayStation, open the pause menu and use the on-screen command bar. Then drop in the GPS spawn code from this page.

What items are related to the GPS?

See the Related section at the bottom of this page for items commonly used alongside the GPS, or open Browse Games to explore the full ARK: Survival Ascended database.

Is the GPS spawn code on GameServersCodex accurate?

Yes. The GPS's class name, GFI code, item ID, and blueprint path are reproduced exactly from the live game data and re-checked each patch, so you can copy them straight into your console.

Is the GPS a DLC item or part of the base game?

The GPS is part of the base ARK: Survival Ascended game, so no DLC or map pack is required to spawn or craft it.

What's the difference between the GPS GFI code and its blueprint path?

The GFI code PrimalItem_WeaponGPS is a short name for quick spawning; the blueprint path "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Test/PrimalItem_WeaponGPS.PrimalItem_WeaponGPS'" is the full engine reference used by GiveItem and spawn tools. Both point at the same GPS.

How current is the GPS spawn info?

The GPS entry was last verified on GameServersCodex on June 28, 2026. We track the live ARK: ASA build, so the IDs and commands here reflect the current patch.

How do I add the GPS to a starter kit or loadout?

Include cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponGPS 1 0 0 in your server's kit or spawn script, and set the quantity argument to hand out multiples. Pair it with other item commands from the Codex to build a full loadout.

What is the GPS used for?

The GPS is a tool item that lets players place named waypoints visible to themselves and tribe members on the map interface. Admins commonly spawn it to help new players navigate, mark important locations, or test waypoint systems on a server.

How do I spawn the GPS by its item ID?

Run cheat GiveItemNum 71 1 0 0 in the admin console. GiveItemNum spawns by numeric ID, which is precise for scripts and control panels. The trailing numbers are quantity, quality, and blueprint flag.

What's the full blueprint path of the GPS?

The full blueprint path is "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Test/PrimalItem_WeaponGPS.PrimalItem_WeaponGPS'". Paste it into GiveItem to spawn the exact item: cheat GiveItem "Blueprint'/Game/PrimalEarth/Test/PrimalItem_WeaponGPS.PrimalItem_WeaponGPS'" 1 0 0. Copy it exactly, because the path is case sensitive and must keep its wrapping quotes.

How do I spawn multiple GPS at once?

Change the quantity argument, the first number after the code. For example cheat gfi PrimalItem_WeaponGPS 25 0 0 spawns 25 of the GPS. Stacks respect the item's maximum stack size.

Can I get the GPS without spawning it?

Yes. The GPS can also be obtained through normal ARK: Survival Ascended progression. Admins usually spawn it for speed when testing, running events, or outfitting players, which is what the commands on this page are for.
