strange glitched map?

[bryantjudoman 3]

Ok so I found a map in a house among some loot. Now this map is MAGIC. It shows my position as a blue circle with a little line pointing in the direction I am travelling. It also shows the position of nearby zeds as well as their orientation. The zeds show up as yellow circles with a line showing which direction they are facing. I bet it would have even shown other players but I was killed before I saw anyone else alive. Anyone else seen one of these magic maps. This was actually the second one I have found.

Nope. That's how all maps work.

Sorry to spoil your fun.

(On servers that allow you to see characters on the map, at least. Servers can turn it off completely, though, so you can't even see yourself.)

I've been on servers like this, you can actually see other players on your map once they're close enough.

Actually, to my knowledge, if you can see them, you can see them on map. So, if you're 500m away in an open field, you'll see their last-known on the map 500m away on the map.

That's the trick to it, though. The map only gives you the last-known position. Don't trust it completely. But if you see another red or blue dot, either avoid or proceed with caution.
