Good idea, the cloud pads show that there are other islands even if not visible.

Would be nice to see enlarged islands. What would be great is if there was text against a larger icon (The Zone one?) saying where the stations went and route to second stops to such as:

* Raversect Insertion
+ Gazer Isle via Raversect Insertion
+ Fear Isle via Raversect Insertion

I know the above routes are wrong (not in game to check and don't remember the real destinations off hand).

I just love EQ2Maps - Thanks for all the hard work by all that make it happen.

Cool Zoom/unzoom everything

Actually I'd like the ability to toggle a closeup all the time. Even if it is just a map zoom. It gets really tricky when in caves and such to maneuver. Close up islands with a toggle for sure. Super tool by the way.

Please add the closeups....too many dots in too small a space make for frustrated gamers!

or what about this, a hybrid solution.

The default is an over view of the Zone, and each island is clickable which then 'zooms' in to the needed map.

May be a pain, but since we're talking XML and XSLT, it may be possible.

Just a thought.

I think I already know every pathway and cranny of all those islands but Close up maps would be nice especially for new people to those zones.

As mentioned in a couple I think it would be a great idea for those area with alot of POIs, I know it would be a pain in the butt But, a zoom fuction for the areas with large cluster groupings would help distinguish individual POIs and save someone like me from spending several minutes trying to get one that is either pretty much under others or so close, it is difficult to get it to highlight. And before I go FANTASIC JOB Could not play this game as well with out this and Fetish

Close up maps, with a toggle, would be my choice.

Default Whole Map while Flying

If there is any way to display the full map while flying on a carpet, then once you hit an island, it would zoom on it. I would think the worst that could happen is you'd have to fly around on a free carpet just to check the POIs. Just a thought...

Default sounds like a good idea

adding close up of the isalands is a good idea and sould also be done to a few outher zones as well.

Smile Maps

Hi
I like the idea of having smaller maps for just one island, but I do not like that our main map of all the islands would be scratched in place of it. Is there not a way to do both? Still keep our main map but also be able to bring up other maps of each single map area.
If that's not possible, I would not vote to change anything.

I have no idea how much work it would involve, but I would love to be able to toggle to a close up map in many places in the game. Especially where there are so many POIs that it's hard to distinguish one from another.

Hey I think it's a great idea. Somthing else to consider as an option is to , If posable , instead of making a whole new map , what about making the map so it could be zoomed in on ( IE map quest , google earth, ) that way no new tabs need to be made . just a thought. new maps work also.

I also like the idea of individual maps for each island with a toggle (if possible) to display the whole zone.

IMO there would need to be a "world view" map as navagating around the KOS islands is difficult at the best of times - you need to be able to see which island to go to next so you can get to the next island to get to the one you need, where the gate is to get to the other zone you want.

I can see having only a close up of the one island being VERY frustrating and making navigation almost impossible without going to a 3rd part map site to see where you nned to go.

I vote NO, unless there is a toggle or a tabbed "world view".

Thumbs Up Why only KoS Zones?

Why are you focusing only on KoS. I would welcome closeup maps for most outside zones.

d'oh! missed the poll even though the link just hit the interface.

I need to see the other islands so a toggle or separate tab sounds good to me.
