Please Make Console Tourist Maps Editable

[tahuki 1]

Hi there 

please could you possibly  prioritise adding editable tourist maps to console.

the game can be incredibly immersive but for us that play the game over months with factions and server histories and points of interest to contend with, nothing is more immersion breaking than hopping out of the game to look at the server discord to see where XYZ faction is or the safe zone is etc. 

you’ve given us big explosives, big guns, small guns, and everything in between that assists the PvP aspect of the game, over the past few updates, for some that’s great I’m sure. But…
 

adding this simple function pulls the player so much further into the game than anything else I can think of, and from what I’ve seen it looks like very small lifting compared to say, new animations for weapon reloading or environmental changes.

I agree with you on the server lore thing. One of my favorite things to do when I join a new server is travel around looking at the remnants of fallen bases and getting to know the groups. In addition to custom tourist maps, I wish we could write notes on sheets of paper; apparently that used to be a thing. I'm sure it was removed due to profuse use of inappropriate language.

I thought it said edible. Edible would also be good.

They’d have to add a pen, pencil or marker. But yeah, great idea. Plus finding someone else’s map with all the caches and bases marked. Freaking gold mine.

I created a similar post: Interactive Maps + Grease Pencils

I’ve enjoyed the Ui changes to our Tourist Maps, with the augmented use of Compasses + GPS Receiver!

Next steps I’d love to see Devs add:

• Toggle button to view list of Map Legend Iconography, some of things I still don’t know what they are
• Grease Pencils or Markers to mark locations on our maps

The developers' work goal is to create mechanics to make survival more difficult.

Wrong, their goal was to make a hardcore survival game that rewards those whom make proper use of survival tools and crafting.
 

They’ve already made the Tourist Map a better tool through the augmentation of Compass & GPS Tracker, plus made the zoom in/out and panning options more fluid than initially executed.

The last functionality pieces they need to add is the ability to draw/mark ✍️ points on the maps and a map key/legend — then they’ll be fully functional like they’re irl counterparts.
