I'm a hero!
I think the map navigation system via shift+leftcklick on map is unrealistic!

Do i have a modern gps in my Inventory? No. Why is a marker showing me direction+distance? I dont know.

Further contra:

-makes the rangefinder more or less worthless, cause i can see distances live on screen. (if i know where i am-but skilled players can use it easily)

What do u think?

Greetings René

Yup I don't like it either but its one of those things like 3rd person camera, that if I disable it server population will go down. Maybe we can do a poll and see what other people think.

Im using it and i must say its super useful but as Reen says it renders the rangefinder completly useless.

Id love to see this feature beeing enabled as soon as i pick up a GPS.

Not possible unfortunately its an engine driven function from server configuration. Its not something I can enable or disable dynamically unfortunately.

There are 3 navigation tools in game:
Map
Compass
GPS

As it is now it seems that map makes compass and GPS mostly irrelevant, in the standalone I think many people just alt-tab to look at an external map image or so.

Anyway im all for removing that map function

A compass is still very usefull for squadplay, explaining where an enemy is with a compass to your friends ( giving a bearing ) is the fastest way of making the direction clear, certainly in close combat ( within 300 meters ).

Maybe it´s possible to make the distance-text invisible? You don´t need to dissable the map entirely, or even the waypoint... but the distance is the only critical point, right? One might could look into this!?

It's an ARMA setting connected to difficulty settings and can literally only be either enabled or disabled. I'll make a poll this week and see what others think about disabling them.
