How To Track Virginia in Sons of the Forest

Virginia is one of the wealthy missing inhabitants of the island. You may first encounter her near the beach as a three-legged lady wearing a swimsuit, after a few peaceful encounters she will eventually relax near your base.
Whilst Virginia can be recruited as a companion in the game, unlike Kelvin, she cannot be given direct commands to stay near your base. As such, it may be an idea to place a GPC Locator on her so you can keep tabs on her.
To do so, simply interact with Virginia after she has been recruited and select the GPC Locator to hand to her. You will now be able to track her and will get an achievement for your time.
