Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Map needs big improvement

Hey. Hey,

the game is simply amazing (I have more than 100 hours and I am vanilla BG player), but I've run into a few problems, and one of them is the map.

The map is terrible.

- There is a complete lack of location previews. I never know where I'm gonna port. The only thing we know is the name of the location, which is (I think) sorted by the time of discovery.
- Quests don't show up on the map. I often get transported somewhere and don't know where to go.
- Merchants are not displayed. Nothing is displayed at all, just the name of the location.
- I can't switch between map levels, which is terrible especially in the third act in the city.
- Clicking on the minimap is unresponsive. I can't move around the city by clicking on a location. this often leads to wandering. Especially when my computer is weaker and not all textures render or it takes a long time and it crashes.

Recommendation:
- Individual areas should have their own toggle map. So if I'm in Lover city, I need to be able to switch to a channel and view the map.
- Each quest should be properly displayed on the map when it appears and NOT MISSED. I load the game and the quest is not on the map. Then it is. Then it's not. I often run around the map completely blind.
- discovered traders should be permanently displayed on the map
- Add the ability to filter "items" on the map. E.g. show only merchants. Show only tasks. Show only teleports. Show all
- enable movement and navigation through the minimap


I have many other little things, but this would be enough to start with and then tweak it.

Also, I may have hit a bug where I can see the quest in the journal and the localization option on the map. I click on it and nothing.
