How do I use the map?

It's very confusing at first but once you get used to it, it's easy to use.

To open your map, you can press M on a keyboard. To find out where a quest objective is, click the quest in the list (or open the journal with J) and click the "Map" button. It will show you a red circle or quest icon where the quest objective is. If you can't see the red circle, you can zoom in with the scroll button on a mouse.

If a quest objective is not in the current area, it will show a quest icon on the map of the exit you should take to get to your objective. So if there are 3 exits it will show a quest icon on the right one to take.

You can teleport to a location near the quest objective if you have attuned to the aetheryte there. Just click the aetheryte on the map and it will let you initiate a teleport.

Quest icons do appear on the minimap if they are in the same area, so you can follow the direction of it there as well.
