Then maybe your latency is better than mine. For me there is a second to two delay between them appearing on minimap and them appearing on my screen.

Moogle is the best example for that actually. I start running to the spot the moogle is on the minimap and arrive there before the moogle actually appears on my screen, usually. With Garuda it's somehow less, but that second still saves you most of the time.
