Description
I keep forgetting to write this one down.
- Teleporting a player to a GPS coordinate (either GPS: text, or X Y Z), we need to center the player onto the coordinate.
- When teleporting to a (/back) remember coordinate, also center player on coordinate.
- When displaying GPS coordinate (/pos) we need to display the coordinate from the center of the player.
This should provide marginal safety for teleporting to coordinates inside station levels.

Research direction
Start by searching the C# scripts for the GPS teleport handling, /back, and /pos command entry points. Trace how player and saved coordinates are read and displayed, then verify that teleport targets and reported positions use the player-centered coordinate while preserving both GPS:text and X Y Z inputs.
