How to drag/change size of compass in Map screen ?
I have heard that you can move the compass and change it's size in the map, but i dont manage to do it.
I did it once by accident, but never again.

click and hold on it to move it, you may need to be in a certain section of it to work. I think you double tap it to enlarge it.

Go to C:\Users\[Username]\Documents\Arma 3 (could also be in the "Arma 3 - Other Profiles" folder if you're using another profile)
Locate the "[Profile name].Arma3Profile" file, open in with a text editor
Find the "class Compass" section
The line that reads "position[]" is the size of the compass when it's bigger (you can change the size of the compass in the map by double-clicking it)
The line that reads "positionBack[]" is the size of the compass when it's smaller

How do the values actually work? this is the default "large" value {-0.065657355,-0.014146522,0.2}
and the small value being {-0.055214249,-0.025694758,0.1}
It seems weird to have 3 values and the second value in the "large" position is smaller than the one in the smaller position back.

Edit*
NVM, found another post that explains it's XYZ coordinates in 3D space. The final number is the only one that physically moves the compass closer and further away.
