The MAP - Button

[alwaysthere1]

I'm really excited to see a MAP-Button now :) All the different islands now , where we can, later ..after next update .... "click on it " ....and see the MAP of each island seperatly...GREAT ! \o/ \o/

Where do you suggest acquiring the maps from? Hopefully they aren’t just given to you for nothing.

Hmmm, well you really wouldn't have to acquire from anywhere... use the current map but as you explore more areas of the island you are on become visible on the map... like in WOW. You would earn that visibility thru exploring.

yeah...you know...it's a pain !...when I exploring the Isalnds ...I never be sure...which Island I ame at the moment.. Because I only can rely on the compass. There is no sign ,on that Island, where is written on it " Drake Island " . That would be very helpfull. Or even, if would be a "red dot" on the map ....where I ame at the moment...would help.

YOu can't tell which island you're on by it's orientation to the starting island? The shape and using the POIs as landmarks? Mount island is the one farthest away from the starter and has huge mountain peeks. Betrayal Island has the new large POI that took the place of the walled city. Skull Island is the large one with the two POIs. The wind turbines are visible from most places.

Ha, ha, ha ! :) the funniest one is : from DEAD ISLAND to DRAKE ISLAND i was traveling N/E . Now I'm being there is see MOUNT ISLAND in the N/E direction....why ? :) There should not be a island at all . Just put on every island a "WELCOME TO ........ - ISLAND" ....it would avoid headaches ..LOL

[alwaysthere1]

I just found out , I was on COBY ISLAND and not on DRAKE ISLAND. Because i met "Stan" . He is in COBY ISLAND. But why is MOUNT ISLAND in N/E direction and not in N/W direction ? It's exactly how I sad : The compass doesn't mach up with the map . It's all confusing. Why is there not a RED DOT ...where I know... where I ame ?

[alwaysthere1]

So , I did some calculations and research into the Coordinates-System...and it's not matching up with the actually map at all. The map is ridiculous ! Sorry ! :)

[alwaysthere1]

just get ridd of it ! Better NO MAP ...than this crappy one...please ?

Where on the island would you put it? By boat the coastline is pretty long and by helicopter you could land anywhere.

Provide your ‘research’ and calculations. The only issue I can see is that north on the map is not the top edge. There is no compass rose provided. Not sure what you’re talking about.

Right, there is no compass rose on the map and the top is not north.

There is no red dot because it’s NOT a GPS, it’s a map. Have you ever actually seen a real paper map? They don’t have little red dots showing your location.
