Maps and Map Icons

[Darkanion]

Hi there,
Having explored and mapped a huge area and marked many things on the map. There are a few things I would suggest;
1) Being able to scale the icons down as you zoom out, as they can end up dominating the picture.
2) Being able to toggle the icons off.
3) The option of sharing your map with friends/map exchange mechanism.

YES on being able to share the map and map icons...... also more icons to chose from.

Portals showing up on the map would be nice too.

Hotkeys to automark a map with a given icon at your present location WITHOUT having to open the map.

More/customizable icons.

Clearer depiction of biome differences.

Toggleable topographic setting.

Ability to delete the YouDiedHereOnce icon.

YES on being able to toggle icons off/scale differently on zoom out. I want to look at the world map as a whole sometimes, and the icons get too dense then.

+1 to these

All those are good options.

I like the option to mark the map on the go with hotkeys.

I'm in on better Map Icons. Scaling smaller with Zooming the map out. I'm in on many more different icons to represent the resources better...and they would appear on the miniMap. I'm in on the Toggles, just in on everything associated with better Mapping Icons.

...and a way to use a Controller better with mapping, a virtual keyboard. Lucky I use a PC w/Controller, so I can pop the keyboard/mouse active/focus, so I got that goin' for me...lol.

Also, bering able to scale up the text size on the map would be welcome. Playing on 4k :)

• greyling stone tower
  
• skeletons stone tower
  
• greyling camp
  
• troll cave
  
• boat (or docks)
  
• fort
  
• village (AKA 3 houses icons together)
  
• blue berries
  
• red berries
  
• wood
  
• stone
  
• ... (all the items)

It would be useful if icons appears as "sets", like in the building panel, so that one can page with Q/E.

Definitely need shareable Map markers for others on the server.

"The big house is here" (Where? I don't see the marker)

The only current way to "share" is to take a screen shot and post it where others can view your map to try and find the locations of each marker. whereas those on your server should already be able to see those markers, especially if you run your own dedicated server.

If you die, then mark the spot, after you have retrieved your items, remove the "I died here" spot.

Just a generic "Food" icon would be great. That way you could mark berries, shrooms, etc. and specifically toggle that one icon on your map when you need to find nearby food.
