Hoping for a handheld GPS or PDA mod

[Bullett00th]

Having the compass with objective markers on top of my screen is kind of killing the immersion for me and removes some fun from exploration, so I play without it.

I consult the map and build a mental route to follow. But time and again I keep thinking about the Far Cry 2 handheld map and GPS navigator. A device like this would be amazing in STALKER, just holding it in your left hand like the artifact detector to check where you need to go.

In previous games you were able to walk with your map open, it was actually nice distraction during that endless walking, you could check for stashes, objectives or better routes.

I too would like a proper compass please, I can't stand UI in any game really, I wanna check the mag for bullets, hold the compass etc.

I don't think that's the case though, handheld PDA became a thing with mods.
But I figured the devs would implement it fully in the sequel

I like that the HUD at least has an autohide function where it fades away and shows up only when needed. But I play without the compass yes, it's ugly and ruins immersion

The thing is, I do too, but not all the time 24/7.
We need options, luckily we have mods, but they are quite limited.
Im also afraid of how multiplayer is going to work with how we all modded the game.
