There should be a N on the map..
Though I like telling directions by direction and it can be hard to find N sometimes. |

what would be nice is to have N, S, E, W on the cardinal directions just to make life a hair easier. it usually takes me a second or 3 to find north, orient my self mentally on the compass to give proper directions and then make sure im not telling my team to run off in the opposite direction of where the baddies are.
also works in reverse. i hear "their to the west" and i just look up and see the W and head that way |

Oh and while you're at it, could we please stop being the only military forces ever in the history of the universe not to put a grid system on their maps!

CCP please add full cardinal points N,E,S & W to the mini map. I'm not sure if this is something that could be added with a hotfix or not. I would hate to have to wait for the next major build for this.
Would be good to see a comment from a Dev on this, like a "yes", "no", or "maybe we're thinking about it". Its not really a big game spoiler if it is coming. |

One thing I noticed, at least in Chromosome, was that the cardinal directions were random with every match even if we played the same map the 2nd or 3rd time around. The cardinal directions also weren't synchronized with the overhead map. So if I'm looking at the map and I tell my squad mates that there's a sniper to the north (north being pointed towards the top of the map), they end up running east, or west away from the sniper. This is pretty frustrating because the north displayed on the mini map is different from the north on the overview map. The cardinal directions on the radar need to coordinate with the directions on the overhead map. Perhaps putting a cardinal legend on the overhead map to show where north is and have that relate to the north on the mini map. I know we've fought on different planets so the locations themselves were oriented differently on each planet, which makes sense. But it's still frustrating to coordinate squad direction.
As for Uprising, I have not been paying attention to see if this same issue is still around. I'll definitely check it out later when I log on.
So in conjunction with extra cardinal directions being added to the radar, having a compass on the overview map that is synchronized with the mini map will help everybody give better directions. |

Both good points, it would help a lot to be able to give/get locations based on grids. |

This should of happened builds ago. That tiny as little N is going to make me go blind one day. |
