Map layout

[RAIST]

have you tried zooming the map? Never really had much trouble figuring out where I was on the map in most zones. Now, some are freakishly annoying to navigate because of screwy landscape physics and hidden, one-way, or blocked paths that don't show on a map--but otherwise it's not too hard to find just where you are to get your position.

It also gives you your position in the upper left corner (like I-7) so you can kinda eyeball which direction you need to head if you are trying to get to G-8--west and a little south in that case (compass in lower left corner). You can also just type /echo <pos> and it will spit out that position as well without ever pulling up the map.

Its not so much about where I am. Its about where I am going.

Example, I am at A-1. I need to get to L-6. So, I find where 6 is on the map, and then when I try to find L, there is a blue text-box blocking the letters.

If I want to see the letter totally clear, I need to look at the very bottom of the map.

Edit: The blu text box that goes all the way from the top left to the top right corner, is right over of your current position. (as you pointed out) And that text-box makes it difficult to read A-M^_-
