Map Modal Usability and Mini-Map Customization

I’ve really been enjoying the new map feature, and I find myself constantly toggling the larger map modal instead of using the mini-map in the upper right corner. While the mini-map is convenient, the fixed size feels too small to be helpful, especially since I never zoom in on it. Instead, toggle the larger map modal, center the full map on my player, make sure I’m completely zoomed out, and click the “white door” icon when traveling long distances. Sometimes this takes me through the doorway automatically, but often it just places me at the entrance. It would be great if the map modal were more responsive to door clicks, especially for long-distance travel.

Additionally, if players could resize the mini-map, it would likely become more useful, as its current size doesn’t offer much visibility, and there’s no option to turn it off to reclaim that pixel space.

    Maybe it would be nice if the mini-map could expand into the larger map, placed automatically in the upper right corner, replacing the mini-map in stead of in the middle of the screen. And can be changed back to the mini-map just by pressing “m” or the expand/minimise button.

      I agree, the hotkey toggle for expanding and minimizing would be a great addition. Allowing players to drag and resize the map to their preferred size would also enhance visibility and make the map far more usable.
