In case you missed the Rat Chat, we unveiled the current progress of the "Mission Leader Waypoints" update which helps mission leader better guide users of all skill level more efficiently in WWII Online. This is still in development but is approaching release, and is one of our Dev Roadmap items we outlined. Continue reading this article to see the pictures, and you can also get involved with our Mission Leader Tools - Forum Discussions to help contribute ideas so we can come up with even more efficient tools.
As you know, Mission Leaders can already create "Waypoints" by right-clicking on their game map, and adding either Rally points, Attack points or Mortar points. However you have to use your game map to be able to see these, until now...
MISSION LEADER WAYPOINTS (GAME MAP)
MISSION LEADER WAYPOINTS (HEADS UP DISPLAY)
The HUD (Heads Up Display) in the near future will show waypoints as shown here to better guide users. Of course if you do not want these to be visible, there will be an area in your settings to remove them, but if done correctly we think users are going to love them and it's going to do a lot of good to direct users accordingly to important priority objectives.
Guiding soldiers in WWII Online is a high priority for CRS and this is in keeping with our mission to provide field leaders the necessary tools to help us achieve that goal.

Is the hard part. I have seen in some games that you can visually “look” at it (like with your weapon) and a keyboard shortcut pressed will cause the marker to be placed on the map for you.
Only compass and map, and perhaps link to orienteering guide
Back in 2004 I used my good old Canon printer to print out Fives maps. IIRC it was 12 A4's or 6 A4's large.
At first one had to find the AO, then survive combat, and then limb back home while navigating based on landmarks. Those days!
Well thats ok XOOM...
Reminder: You can turn these off, if you don't want them.
