How to read a Mini Map - SwiftWing - 11-23-2023

How to read a zoomed in mini map the easy way and the Correct way, By a Old timer Smile
So looking at the Upper left hand corner of C row 4

So x is at C.3 x 4.5 and H= Height
so if the target is 10k up you would say: C.3 x 4.5 H = +10
Z is 12k down so would read C.7 x 4.8 H = -12

Here is the thing, everyone seems to over thinks this, and does not see really how simple it is, when you get it, you can Fly to any point in space and even run into things .

St.Denis Aligned the Info, My hat is off to him, I could not find a way to align it where it looked good. Thank so very much Kind Sir!

Sorry it is really hard to line up text in a SQUARE grid So please excuse the rectangle.
Note I zoomed IN and it went to a Square.

long time ago this was the way people gave cords out, it works 100x better than trying to give some one the /POS command and trying to get them to fly with that. it's even harder to just give some one the B 5 Sector when your trying to find the Battle. The old way of using the cords above you can set a exact waypoint and then time your range to end at the height you want. and a lot of the time run into what your looking for if you could not see it before Smile no matter the height. and so simple to read the cords and use them. strangely over the years a lot of players have over thought this and thought it was a lot harder than it really is, the point is it is very simple to use and not hard at all... Give it a try Smile Great for Battles you can Fly directly to the battle and not spend a lot of your time trying to find them, use this Cords Option and Just go Directly to the battle Smile
