Map question

[Mystfit]

<p>I am not sure if my issue is with the eq2 maps or with my use of EQ2maps. Feel free to direct me to eq2maps.</p><p>I have a map...zone a goal to get somewhere. I type the name into the box and click find and it brings up the name..in this case GLittering Mines and a /loc. I click on that loc and expect some sort of flash or something to tell me where it is, but I get nothing.. no way to idenify where the item is on the map beyond typing /way and the numbers that it shows me..which isn't very easy to utlize. what am I missing? How do I find the location on the map?</p><p><img src="http://www.jklm.net/st-auction/images/eq2mapel.jpg" /></p>

<p>I too saw no flash, then I zoomed in on the map & could then see it..maybe that will help.</p>

<p>OK, so I went back to EL and test out your suggestions and it's true, as I got closer I was able to determine the flashing yellow dot.</p><p>It seemed the marker for the cave..the black and grey thing...sits over the top of the yellow dot that would flash when that far back.</p><p>Typing in the way point it displays isn't very practical for me as I'm visually impaired and can't easily read the numbers to type 'em in(as it is I just make guesses as to what it's saying when I"m mousing over looking for something /giggle),  and if I were to do that, I'd be better off typing them into a /way as that would give me the green X and the wisp <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" /></p><p>I've had issues on and off with this new map (well I guess it's not so new anymore), but I'd finally had ENOUGH that day and wanted to figure out what I was doing wrong <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" /></p><p>I suspect I'll just keep looking up /ways on wiki or whatnot, I'm much better at copying and pasting way points then actually reading them <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" /></p>
