will it be possible in another update to use the cell phones as a gps system and bring up the map with your location on it ?

That's a great idea.
Please Devs, add this idea. <3

Edit: Also if were in a Squad we can see our Squad Members on the map too with phones.

this already exists just press the m button, why change what already works well, haven`t the devs messed up enough with the spawn system, why do players want to ruin everything.

That's only been talked about but never been confirmed as part of 1.0. They talked about the idea but that also might have been scratched off the board long ago.

We're looking into doing something similar with the map rework. Designers already have something like this on their list.

Thats really exciting. I can't wait to see, so many fun ideas and things you can do with the map with phone.
If you do add phones to view the map maybe still have a Keybind like M key to just bring up the phone for the map or a seperate keybind if we want to swap the keybinds for it.
Just some fun ideas and convenient ones. <3

Oh Another fun idea would be to ditch the paper map and just make phone way more important with game and have us start with one instead. Then the map a map app on phone and as we play game do quest we could unlock new convient apps on the phone as our fame raises for more features with it.

Also you could add phone chargers at the outpost too but it would also make when u first spawn like oh gosh better be careful how many times i use my phone for the map due to battery power.

Just so much fun ideas could be done with the phone for game as a main feature for game. <3

Like i really hope u explore the ingame Mobile Phone for game. Super excited! <3

Anyways kinda rantting sorry but i'm just really excited at the possibility's of what you could do with the mobile phone item in features for game. <3

There will definitely be a separate line in the options (hotkeys) for both interactions so you would be able to set it up to your liking. Hopefully we will see it in the game in the near future :).

So you dropped the idea of a lootable map and removal of "red dot" aka GPS?

[CheeseKing]

Didn't say that :P

I think he just said that if they do add it, they would just make a keybind for the map feature for it as conveniency. Is what i think he meant hon, not that even that could be added just if they did add a Map App they would. <3
I Think he was just talking Hypothetical. =)
