can you rename 'Tanks' to 'Zombie farm' ? it looks like a farm full of zombies and crates. i have seen multiple people name it that.

It will not be renamed since zombies will be removed from the game very soon.
It cant be renamed from tanks, due to the wiki listing a reference to the tanks in relation to black zombies... even if they are being removed.
Its two tanks... easy to interpret "tanks" as this.

I love the name Heisenberg factory for the factory in the upper left corner... Seems the rads here are greater than anywhere else, which has led me to believe that this factory is the source of the problem... and am I shooting zombies... or crazed meth heads?
Our map is better :rolleyes:
We should get a streetview going for specific landmarks
like, is that small radtown the one by the barn?
we did actually thought about that for fun at some point
and yes, that is the one at the barn :)
how do i share the markers? i tried to add member to group but if i press enter nothing happens. If i press the plus the little window closes.
Btw love the site, only map i look at.
It might be quite hard to do but a good idea would be to have it so you can have your group in a private live session and you can watch each other draw routes and stuff.

The other user should also be register on the website then start typing hes name in the box when you can see it click on it.

We are already working on this.
As requested: Added screenshots
Coming soon: Live updates

I've seen some of the live updates stuff and it's awesome, guys. Drawing d*cks interactively on the rust map is pretty fun ;)
Thanks!
Maybe add photo of these milestones )

Live updates now running (could be temperamental, please be patient),
Also you can now create a public link
The website has now been updated, you will now be able to get a public link for group map so you can share it with anyone on the internet, without them needing to login. Only the owner of the group can enable and disable the public link
All markers will now be updated live, so you will be able to see live if someone edits or adds something to a map.
Map isn't saving markers for me now :(
[QUOTE=StrangeWill;43494819]Map isn't saving markers for me now :([/QUOTE]
It should be saving again
Thanks, works now. :)
Is the coordinate information not standard throughout the game on all servers? Ive only played two days but I guess Ill try to follow the road and find land marks to locate where I am to get a baring of where I build my home.
Where are you guys at on being able to even have a simple coordinate system to locate yourself?
Great map, ill try using it out tonight!

The problem is that on a vanilla server without mods you will not be able to find/get your coordinates, so we can't really set up a system. Though we have thought about setting up so you can use the coordinates that some server delivers.
Yeah I think the EAST/WEST with the Sun and then just landmarks are good enough really. You can at least tell which direction you're going and the road hint (clockwise, turning right) is a good start.
At least I found out Im in north valley...so I know where Im at!
A couple things that would be nice:
* Multiple colors on markers.
* Ability to edit a marker's label.
Honestly I think the map would be better off without the advertisement in the lower left.
The ad revenue you will receive simply wont be worth the screen real estate you lose.
Otherwise, great effort Urban.

An improved set of edit features is next on the list of things to do, it should include a color selection for all lines/shapes, an icon selection and changing marker text
Some of these names are different than the most commonly accepted ones, and there should either be better names for them, or you should conform.
For example (common = yours):
Big Civ = Big Radtown
Rad-Town = Small Radtown
Coast Civ = Factory Radtown
Civ Hanger = Hangar
Civ Desert = Tanks
Also, "Civillian Forest" and "Cvillian Road" are mispelled, and you're missing Civ Mountain (a small horizontal blue patch between Middle Mountain and Civilian Forest). Factory Radtown's blue influence should extend to the left because there are three small buildings out that way that are a part of it.
I also suggest you change the text overlay font and make it vector-based instead of raster-based (text is drawn by the browser as text rather than a pre-rendered image overlay).
You could also try making a key in the bottom left that shows what each area color means (yellow = valley, black = mountain, blue = civilian area, green = forest) and a compass.

I disagree... the common names to me are not common... and the names that they have used is far more common.
As you can see from a map that has been around before all this new map stuff started. [url]http://static4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131103024947/play-rust/images/d/d2/Rust_Map-png.jpg[/url]
the names being sent out now are way different than previous attempts... think of it like.. someone new coming to your neighbourhood, and suddenly renaming it all?
Hey everyone!
Great map I have two way of improving the map.
First, when we look at a screenshot we should see on the map from where the photo was taken what angle... I don't know If it's clear enough ?

Then, you should put on the screenshots directions : "to small radtown" "to hangar" ....

What I've made is just to make my point a poor design anyway but It would be great because sometimes I did look at the map saw a screenshot but I didn't know how to go to this point of the map which way?
Hope it will help you improve your map :)

This has now been added. Keep the suggestions coming people
So everyone.
The site has been running for some time now.
Do people currently have any problems with it, or do people have suggestions or ideas to what we need to improve on or change.
Currently were working on changing the login system so it is optional whatever you want to sign in/up with steam or just username/email.
Were also working on a better QL. of the ground map, where we are looking at multiple options

All of you thank you for the responses, I've looked them all through some of them were already working on and some is already done ready for the next release.
The x and y coordinates system is already done. So you will be able to use the /locate on the server where it is available and enter the x and z coordinate, and show your location.
I’m working on adding the x and y coordinates to the grid.
For all those wondering about waypoint/markers or what name you like to give them if you login you can make a group and create your own markers and save them on website, you can then share it with your friends either via the website between the users on there or using the public link which you can enable and give out.
The map will not be able available for offline use anytime soon, especially since we update is so much.
