Question - Map zooming in and not staying centered on what your zooming in on (1 Viewer)

[Trila]

Isn't there a way when your moving the map and then you want to zoom in on an area without the map changing your focus point and then you have to drag it all over trying to find the spot again?

I just want the map to stay centered on exactly the spot I am trying to look at without going all crazy on me.

this is an eq setting - unclick "Auto-Zoom"


edit: hrm, might not be what you're asking for --- but will at least address the "zooming in" part

Mine was off, but will try it both ways and see it that fixes my issue.

I've often wondered the same thing. When you scroll in using the mouse, the map shifts (have not tried changing auto zoom as Sic suggested, but I will this evening). I just assumed it was yet another annoying EQ thing.

As far as I've ever known, zooming in/out is always centered around you, regardless of where on the map you're looking. I'm not aware of a way to change this.

I’ll have to play with auto zoom. I think I understand. What you want is to change the focus from your character to a spot on the map and stayed zoomed in on a focal point. Which works as long as you are not moving, but once you move the focal point also moves. I would love to be able to do that. Lock in on a point and stay there no matter if my toon moved or not.
