I noticed that many young people did not see "Back" (and do not have access to the map of the continents of Atys). :)
In addition, the maximum number of markers has been modified, research and events are new features....

See in the User Manual, the sections Maps and compas.

Toolbar

From left to right: Back (to navigate in maps), ; zoom + ; zoom - ; center the map (on your position, useful after a big fast zoom) ; ? to search ; Dynamic Event
Below: IG hour^[1] ; climatic conditions (important for drilling).

The map (M) has 3 zooms. To change the view, or use the scroll mouse on map, and/or clic on a town to see its map.

Atys global view: to see it, clic on "back". Useful when you need to go in an other continent (using vortex).
Usual view. Here you can organize your flags - flags color change regarding the category (bandits, path, source...).
"Detail" view, for towns (here Pyr). User back to un-zoom

Landmarks

Backup your files: quit game, and zip your folder save (check the date, to be sure it's the right one ^[2]) :p Your personal landmarks are held in a .xml file - named "landmarks_nameoftoon.xml" in the save folder.

To merge 2 files:

quit the game, then
copy the lines between <interface_config> into target file and
relaunch the game. it will merge duplicate <landmarks continent> lines and remove duplicate markers.

If you want to share landmarks between characters on same computer, then rename landmarks file to shared_landmarks.xml

shared_keys.xml (to share macros with several toons) and shared_interface.icfg exists aswell
