Map Questions

[OneNineSe7en 3]

So what's up with the mapping system, sometimes I can see my location on the map via a blue dot and sometimes I cannot. Is this a specific server setting. Also I know there are ways to interact with the map (ie:..double click, shift left click ect...) is there a website or a thread that shows what you can all do with the map?

Thanks

You need a gps to see the dot, some servers don't need a gps though and some servers have it off, even with a gps.

Are there servers where even when you do have GPS you DON'T see the blue dot? Or is there a way to enable it once you do have GPS?

You will know your position using a GPS.

Wether you can see your position/use waypoints / see player id's depends on server difficulty settings.

Veteran servers have non working gps and regular or recruit servers have it working.

Most veteran servers and up won't show the blue circle on the map regardless of gear. However, with GPS, you can press ctrl + m to pull up a mini-map you can reference while you're moving, and has a similar circle showing your direction and exact location, however, it only shows immediate area.

There's really no way of telling if they're have it or not until you try, but a good rule of thumb is veteran servers won't have it.

Thanks guys, now what are all the ways you can interact with tha map, I just found out about double clicking to mark a location and shift + left click to set waypoints, any others that are useful?
