Understanding radio communication in single player

I just got into this game and while playing the first mission, my teammates would say something like Unknown Man 141991 or something. This is a co-ordinate I'm assuming but how do you figure out where that is in relation to you? Are you supposed to go to the map mid battle and find it? The map doesn't show where you are so that makes it even less easy to use. Is there a way to get them to tell you the direction the enemy is instead?

Also the game talks about a hud showing your direction. I am not seeing this but perhaps its because of my difficulty level? I am on the 2nd hardest I believe.

It doesn't show you because you are in the harder difficulties. If you switch over to the first 2 easiest it will show you your position and other peoples/vehicles positions on the map

What about the 141991 thing. how do you use that number to see where they were talking about?

Open the map. Find grid 141 991

Hold Down shift and use the mouse to place a point in the middle of the grid square

Close the map.

You can see a number such as "278". This is the distance in meters to the point you placed on the map.

Turn you character to face the number and walk towards it.
