It would be cool to have a map that the user could toggle off and on that was visible in the corner of the screen. The map would be very low detail and simply give the user an idea of where his/her crew mates were. Primary use would be to find your crew mates on an island when searching for stuff.
Map/waypoints for crew members
@gloog I like that idea. Really just need to notify crew mates of my location. It came up last night when I was fighting skeletons and I had a difficult time describing my location to my crew mates so the cold assist.

Yeah, it would be nice. Flare guns my best opinion. Maybe a very loud horn.
Edit: flare gun only because it has the tradeoff of revealing your location to possible would-be pirates.

@saxappeal07 no. That is not possible in this game.
I mean I'm sure it is because of the map table having a constant tracker on your ship that reflects on the map but myself I wouldn't like that it would be cheap. I enjoy hunting for the dig spot on my treasure maps and with that it would be too easy and doesn't really make sense in the map table its believeable because you would have a "cartographer' on the ship ploting the ships course and position by the stars or something.

The flare gun is realistic and would allow the user to decide if it is worth the risk to notify crew mates of location while also notifying enemies!
I kinda like it how it is at the moment, it forces the crew to keep aware of their location and to communicate.
With greater knowledge of the islands it becomes easier.
Even in the most barren parts of an island, you can still generally say which side of the island you're on with the compass, and how high you are.
Your gun can also act as a sort of flare gun if they are close enough, if you fire it up :)
In the ocean it becomes real tricky, we stole a skull fort chest off the back of a galleon and having to pick up my partner in the sloop was a challenge, but a welcome one.
