*Note that the value returned represents the map display, and not necessarily the player's actual location. The [[API SetMapToCurrentZone|SetMapToCurrentZone()]] function will reset the values to represent the player's location.
*However for macros since, the map display is reset to the players location when the world map is closed, this can be used as the players location.
