    In re: favorites, you can pin locations to the top of the History tab with "Save to History".

    In re: additional information, that's a lot of unnecessary information. At most, the current weather would be maybe okay; even then, the vast majority of people who need to teleport somewhere at a given time are probably not participating in an activity that is weather sensitive; and those who are should have their travels planned in advance because weather changes on a predictable schedule (exactly every 0000, 0800, 1600 Eorzea Time).

    If you want a map to go with your teleports, there's the main map. It'll even open up to the right zone if you click one of your objectives in the quest tracker, and if you hold Ctrl the aetherytes will float over all the other map icons so you can select them without clicking some other icon. When you're questing, this makes it really to get around without even opening the teleport window.

    The teleport menu would benefit from some slight re-categorization of some of the destinations, Endwalker locations in particular, but it's a teleport menu. Your goal in the window should be to open it, choose your destination, and then watch it close. The Aethernet menus needed a new map interface because previously you had to memorize shard locations or you had to cross-reference with the main map. The teleport window doesn't need an integrated map because the main map has integrated teleportation. And it's worth reminding that with the addition of the map to the Aethernet menus, it's actually slower to use when you already know your destination because when you select a location from the list, the first click now centers the map on that shard, and a second click teleports you to it. If they added a map to the teleport menu, they would probably make it do the same thing there: one click to center the map on the selected aetheryte, then another click to teleport. If that's the case--and it's an easy bet it would be--then adding a map to the teleport menu would be a nuisance.
