Although map markers i put on the map don't come up for some reason when i turn my map off... no how far away i am from it... ITS ANNOYINGThe server you are playing on might have map markers turned off so when you exit map mode it does not tell the distance to your desired location its common on some servers since your in AUS i'll throw my server your way AU46 whitelisted private hive come on down map markers included.EDIT:Necron if map markers are excluded from the server your playing locate the nearest paved road and follow it to a town and locate the blue signs on the outskirts. The identify the area to your map on location and work with it from there. Edited November 26, 2012 by Steak and Potatoes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
