Map legend?

[Sensei Weasel]

On the map table there are 6 icons that certain islands can have, and you can filter to show which islands have a specific icon - but it doesn't explain anywhere what these icons are. Shouldn't there be a tooltip for these?

I just started playing this game yesterday and I've been wondering the same thing! (commenting mostly in hopes someone answers you)

These symbols mean whatever you want them to. They are linked to the markers you can unlock at a learning stone, so you can categorize islands that you've been to.

The system sounds like a good idea, but I think it needs work. In particular, when islands come pre-marked, the player is left to assume there's a pre-defined meaning (but I don't think there is).

I assume this can get really confusing with multiplayer.

I only just today had some islands show a marker instead of the normal dot. I have some islands still shown as dots that have a marker when hovering over them, while others show the spiral marker (same as you get when you use an atlas).

I can't add or remove markers. All I can do is turn them on/off in the legend, which kind of highlights islands that have those markers, but if they are automatically added, then the legend could really do with some tooltips.

However, I would say the circle with the smaller circle and dot is a learning stone, while the spiral in the dripping circle is an atlas drop.

Just weird that I've used learning stones and picked up atlas' from other islands that still show as a dot, which I prefer.

The Beacons that you can learn and build match up with five of the symbols in the "legend". They do not have any pre-defined meaning.

The islands showing a marker instead of the normal dot are "Atlas" islands -- using a Lost Atlas at the table-map will lead you here. They are marked by a yellow beacon that you can't build.
