You can't guess the Z , set it to 0...

LibGPS has that feature.

what im wanting to do is if i set a player waypoint on the map it will return the X, Y, Z of that waypoint in the world space

i use GetMapPlayerWaypoint() to get that set waypoint which returns a normalized XY but from my testing Y is actually Z and not Y so im not understanding the conversion there.

Why not
local x, y = gps:LocalToGlobal(GetMapPlayerWaypoint())
local z = 0
You can't guess the Z if you don't have the data anyway...

Afaik a waypoint got no z info as it is just a point on the map, not respecting any height. Just x (left) and y (top) cordinates where the point was set.
