    Direction Indicator for Current Quest.

    The idea is a direction indicator that you can see like 15' from your character that would indicate the direction of your next quest target.

    Like the target indicator, the image would lay over the map texture.

    There are a couple ways I thought to do the actual direction:
    Pointed at either the quest marker icon or the closest icon that leads to that map.
    Or using the path finder the chocobo porters use and then creating new ends to the path. Using the path with the shortest distance (bit more complicated)
    Could even use the position of the next target if close enough and it works.

    Another thought would be to use the first option above at first, adding the second part later when its complete. If at all.

    You could have it activated as part of the journal UI like map or activate (for levequests), a button, call it like "Track Progress" or something. Also as part of the duty list or part of the map.

    **I'm on a tablet, this is sort of a brainstorm, I'll fix it later.

    The mini-map already has a direction indicator (or location indicator if its in range) for any quest in the current region. The full map has location indicators for all quests in the current region as well as indicators at the region exit towards any quests in adjacent regions. Plus in most cases, the quest tracker and journal indicate where to go. I don't really think we need more screen clutter in order to tell us for a fifth time what's already shown in four places (two of which are always on-screen).
