Map Markers.

Recommended Posts

Guest

I don't really know if this has been suggested before but anyways.

And I pardon for my bad English by the way.

 

I think that you should be able to set markers if you have a GPS, and not just a map.

In the mod you were able to set markers with just a map, but it would add more realism if you needed a GPS to set a marker.

 

EDIT: I meant waypoints not markers. Oh, silly me.

I never played the mod, so forgive me - but what do you mean markers?

 

Do you just mean a point that shows up on the map - or something involving a minimap and waypoints?

 

If you mean literally just a mark on the map, it should be implemented with a pen (or better yet a pencil if they add them - so it can be rubbed out realistically, but whatever.)

 

If you mean with waypoints, I don't support the idea of having it on the map - or even on a minimap specifically used as a GPS.

 

However, it would be cool to see a GPS - which you can set and then hold up, like a compass. It would make you follow the roads, but could give you routes like a sat nav, basically.

With markers i mean waypoints, I've always called them markers for some reason.

Would be awesome to see with GPS, but I don't think a map should be needed if you have a GPS :P

I didn't say anything about needing a map, I said that you only needed a map in the mod!  :D

I'd suggest being able to add markers to the map item if used with a pen. Anyone looting the map henceforth will also see the markers.

That sounds like an amazing idea aswell, but you shouldn't be able to use the pen markers as a waypoint. So you just have to guess your way to your destination.
