Dynamic Event: since JA2603 (June 2019), a blue Events button has been added to the map toolbar (1 in the image below).
This blue Events button makes a transparent layer appear/disappear on top of the map, which is useless if there is no event in progress . This layer has a red and white button in its upper right part (2 on the image), which is inactive if there is no DE.
If a DE is in progress, then it is displayed on the map (in orange in the map toolbar: 1 Dynamic Events + a big blue dot on the map) and you can also keep a separate window open to monitor it. More at Dynamic Event.
You can open/close the map with m or using the toolbar - not to be confused with the compass or radar (you can retrieve an existing landmark on your map and add it to the compass).
The toolbar
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:
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
