Unlocked MAP in Act 2 - Let's share vantage points
In Act 2, after you return to the cove with Irvin (the place where you got attacked at the start of the game), you'll find your lost cartographer tools and obtain a map, howerver, it's covered by fog and the only way to reveal areas is to find vantage points, they're the white chalky lines drawn on the ground (the ones without the blue crystal)

Let's share the vantage points locations that we've found so far:

So far I've only found the vantage point for the starting area, it's right past the stone bridge as you walk towards the woodcutters camp, on the left. It gives 1500xp when you press E on it.

Update: I was wrong, the vantage points **ARE NOT CHALKED**

Turns out the vantage points are literally invisible. I just found my 2nd vantage point in Greyshard city.

From the market area, where there are stalls with vendors, look for a path that leads up to the castle gates (big gates with 2 statues, the gates are locked), if you sit in the bush overlooking the marketplace, you can press E to vantage the area, you get 1500 xp.

I am very very disappointed that the vantage points are literally invisible and the only way you can find them is if you happen to stand on top of them... what is this ♥♥♥♥?
There one across from the guard tower Forrest tavern you have to look across from it and look up. It’s a ship structure

If the stone bridge is repaired, no, otherwise either go around the outskirts towards the wood cutters, or jump into the river and climb up onto the road, the vantage point is marked with chalk and it's right besides the stone bridge, on the woodcutter's side

One of the vantage is right in front of the entrance to the upper fort.

You can just run past the enemies. They can’t climb the ship. The just stop chase.
another point to update the map is right infront the entrance of the high fort
the city's vantage point is up on the hill behind the marketplace, there's a road that goes uphill on the right of the marketplace (the one with multiple archway with flags), when you go up, look on the left for a steel door with a cart on the left. Keep going upward and you'll reach a very large door with 3 guards. On the left is a bush, which is also the vantage point

When you cross the bridge to get to the fishing village (from the way of the hound inn), look to the left to spot a pretty high tower with a piece of board sticking out like those in assassin creed games (the tower is on the right side of the river). Another vantage point is up on the highest floor. If you go up there and find a single city guard guarding the place, you're at the right area
south of the expedition camp and west of the fishing village there is a tower and the hill. On top of that tower is another point to update your map
Another vantage point. In the Dark Forest next to the second watch tower in the Jaegers camp.
