How do you find co-ordinates?

I was was looking at the world map http://algeralith.info/HavenMap/ and I was wondering how to get co-ordinates of my location?

Look at your minimap,
Now back to the world map,
To the minimap
The world map
To the window to the wall
To the sweat drop down my balls
To all these bitches crawl
and put some Skeets around here.

It was like I was doing one meme and changed my mind, oh I'm a clever clever man.

Anyways, there is no real shortcut to finding your co-ords on the world map unless you ask a neighbor. Look for mountains/Thickets near your base, they stand out on the world map really well. After that find odd looking features around said thickets and mountains that will help you know that the thicket/mountain you are looking at on the world map is your thicket/mountain.

Protip, penis shaped lakes are not odd looking features, the less like a dick something looks like on the minimap the more sharply it will stand out on the world map.

not quite that dramatic

u jsut look at the landscapes around you, check the world map and make a match between the area ure in and where it is in the world.

or like i did, get someone else to dot he tedious process of finding ur location on map:D

Some people see dicks everywhere and in everything. I tend to ignore those people.

I look for things like odd clusters of swamps, mudflats, and grasslands. Also try to look "far enough away" you can see the general shape and layout of the nearby rivers and lakes and how they all connect (do they make a square, triangle, hexagon, etc). In Ender's, if you zoom out the minimap and expand the window, you can see what you've recently explored much easier. If you're using Ender's or one of the other clients with a map cache, you can open up that in the /map folder and look at what you've recently explored. There should be an html page you can open. That can help a lot. There's also a utility similar to what algeralith uses to make the world map to stitch the cached maps together.
