Mark explored areas on the map

I really love exploring the game, but I find it hard to remember where I've been already. I wish there was a way to see which areas I've already been to... perhaps even a skill or item which could help with this?

I'm really loving the game overall, though. Great work!

  • +1! It'd be great to see it marked on signposts, or on the map. I like to try to walk through places I haven't been to yet when I'm not sure what to do next.

  • I'd like to see more info on the map about where I've been and how often/how recently - perhaps linked with a Cartography skill set.

  • + 1 for marking already traveled areas
    +100 for making a Cartography skill
    +1000 for after having that skill, every area you travel gets changed to a different color - it would sure help a lot with the top travelers board!!  Then, at least you would know which roads were new to you, and as for the housing streets ~ well, you would just have to be sure to check those.

    I can certainly see the benefit of this skill when the reset comes!!  :)   And, of course, not knowing a thing about writing programs, perhaps just a single color change to a street signifying it having been trod upon by your Glitch would not be so complicated to do.

  • @ZedPlus - there is a greasemonkey script for this (also a couple of threads already about this topic).  More about the scripts and how to get them: http://beta.glitch.com/forum/general/3040/

  • +10 I have been wanting this feature too. And since I run IE, I don't think the greasemonkey script would work for me. Plus, I just like the idea of having it in game.

  • Love this idea. I don't mind going to my profile page, but this bit would be great in game to know where I've been so I can search other areas for interesting things.

  • CARTOGRAPHY

    You're tracking where we've been anyway.

    There are so many things I want to write on my map.

  • yep, I suggested cartography many months ago ( beta.glitch.com/forum/gener... ) and still think it's a great idea. :)

  • I'd like to be able to put more than one marker on the map to remind me to visit places, or to mark places I've been which had lots of the commodity I need at that time.

  • agreed, even if in the encyclopedia the places youve been have a checkmark or a different color font

  • Love this idea... 
    The cartography skill sound great, especially the color of the street changing. What about a cartography II skill, where we can add little notes (Nothing over 10 words) and have a little note hover over that street in the map when we hover mouse over?? So we can put a little note E.G. Home, Friends Home, Favorite street etc. etc. I don't know whether this is actually something people would use, but I sure would!!

  • BUMP for the idea and the clever skill of cartography!

    +1000 brilliant. It is taxing trying to remember all these streets you've been to >_<

    Maybe with the cartography 2 skill, you could see the info from the load screen (how many piggies, tree's, etc.)

  • @Rayana, we can already see that info when the streets load... It is down the bottom...
    Posted 16 months ago by jjbob Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Good idea Rayana, I'd love to see that info from the main map, not just the load screen.
