The map's a pain: It rotates depending on which way you're facing and you can't zoom out far enough. What you can do with the map on the pause screen is to use Left-CTRL and Space to cycle through the different locations in the game. That might help a bit.
My problem is, the green arrow which represents me, doesn't show up on the map on the left while driving. Even when I click the M button and expand it, or make it small. The green arrow is always floating off to the right. When the map is small, I get this grey square that shows the green arrow over it.
I think it's a resolution problem. All I know is, the ONLY way I can figure out where I'm going, is pausing every time (which isn't exactly instant), and then see where the green arrow is on the map, which pin points where I'm going. Which is fine, the problem though is that when you are driving, the green arrow isn't lined up on the map, so you are 100% guessing whether you are making your turns on the right road correctly. I'm constantly stopping and pausing to check, and re-correct my course.
My guess is that, eventually I'll get used to the town and the roads. And just by memory (I played this a long time ago on Console, and remembered that being the case). But gah damn. I was just wondering if this is a problem with my resolution, or if the map is that broken.
