Press the A key to bring up the Automap, there you can zoom in and out. You will notice several other buttons which will let you access other info. The M key brings up the minimap which is handy for seeing your current location. Also, enemies will appear as red dots, NPC's as green dots on the minimap. Your position will be a blue dot.

When someone marks your map, press the A key and look for a small red flag. Holding the mouse over the flag will tell you the location of the flag. If you don't see a red flag, left click on the map and hold. Drag the map around till you see the new location. Some locations are in different areas and will require moving quite a bit to see the flags until you actually enter the new area. The fog of war will keep unexplored areas hidden as well.

Not wrong, just takes some getting used to, you will be a pro with the map in no time at all.

Edit: Press the A key to bring up the automap, you will notice small blue flag avatars. These allow you to set your own locations with blue flags.

Look here to see the key map for DD . . . =)

Thanks a lot for help. I can't believe I missed it, but the manual is pretty 'unclear'

You're welcome.

Manuals are like that . . . wish they weren't . . . =)
