Cartographers and Seekers Contest (NA) - Discussion Thread

Where are you people getting landmark highlight-less maps?!

Slight confusion regarding the rules of entry of the maps. While I know that players within the actual cartography thread are posting screenshots fitted to the template, is it required that our map itself be a screenshot, or are we allowed to use an outside program to create the map itself. The instructions only state that for the "answers thread" we will need to use a screenshot to show our location itself. The only rules regarding creating the map that are stated are the minimum size of it, the location restrictions, and the character/ect information.....

There is an icon on the map, I believe it's right above the zoom icons. The icon looks like an eye.
Each time you press the icon it removes hides some elements on the map. There are 3 or 4 settings, can't remember exactly.

Are PVP areas allowed? :3

You take a screenshot of the map within the game based on where you want it located, and then you crop that spot on the map onto the template provided.

PSA: Google Drive is unreliable for image hosting. One day it works fine with permissions set correctly, then next it's blocking all incoming requests for no reason. I ended up having to re-post using Photobucket.

I found a better location. Can I resubmit?

Why is there no edit option!? I missed spelled Dravanian and worst of all I forgot the Red X!
