You can using simple math

By knowing the size of the map and the number of tiles along with the matrix's position you can determine what tile you are on top of

For example: The matrix is 4x4 tiles. it is positioned exactly in the middle of the world. it is 400x 400. your position is 300x, 100z thus you are in tile: 3x ; 1z. I could write it out as a computer formula but then what fun would you have?
