Well, Here is my universal plea, but to shake things up I decided to write my suggestion in a poem (I apologize for the lack of poetic ability)
Oh Woe!
Oh no!
where on this map shall we go,
we shall simply wander around
with no specific thing to be found
with this blank empty map on the ground
how wonderful it would be
on this map to see
a gridded structure eventually
we could call out distances
"Hold on!
For I am just 3 squares away"
We could call out targets
"Confirmed kill
HAV, D3, HOORAY!"
Imagine our fun
great communication will run
when Legion adds this in one day
Ok but actually, Gridded maps would be a great addition to the game for many reasons.
One
CCP designed maps with grids in mind

Two
It gauges distance much better
Example
Before Grid: Well the Rail Hav is like halfway between you, and the hill.
After Grid: Rail HAV is 2 squares (or whatever slang will call them) north.
Three
you can communicate locations a lot better!
Example
Before Grid: Its just a little bit ahead of the rock thats a little bit northeast of the pipes that are north of Alpha
After Grid: D6, or if you want to be really precise, Northwest corner of D6.
Personally this seems to be clear, and the only thing that would make it better, is to have a coordinate system in addition to the grids.

The slang used would be "clicks", in case you are curious. |

Thats what i figured, but from the past it seems we are kind of creative with names, I would never have thought to call them smurfs for example.....

Just wanna say, MAG had coordinates with a grid, that's what you guys should really want. Coordinates were the best, especially when discussing map/terrain issues/bugs.
I 'support' EVE:Legion. Since the PS4 is just a dream, make it easy to sell our characters and our Beta access...

Bug reporting would be a lot easier with this, making us better beta testers!

I agree whole heatedly!
We also need the coordinate system that displays our current position, which corresponds to the map. Along with better direction indicators (That direction indicator at the top of the screen in the demo looked promising.)
I would be fine with just the grid squares (numbers across the top of the map, and letters down the side, and 1A always being the top right hand corner) provided that the grid square you are currently in is shown on your HUD and the grid numbers and letters are included on the Spawn Map.
Finally, make the grid squares a standard size (50m).
On really big maps you might have to use AA, BB, CC once your get beyond Z.
Or just have a number system with X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) coordinates using the standard measure of GÇ£mGÇ¥, where 0,0 is always in the bottom right hand corner. (Read Right Up) So 546, 362 would be 546m to the right and 362 m up from the bottom corner of the map. Of course I am a Cartographer and may get too hung up on percussion. Just using the 50m grid squares I mentioned earlier might be simpler.
Hand/Eye coordination cannot be taught. For everything else there is the Learning Coalition.

I can't imagine a competent developer not including a grid on their minimap.
