    Yea, super annoying. Bugs out sometimes too. Either it will kick you off any points of interest or nothing will show on your map and you can’t travel.

    I have had to go to the world view, then back to the map because the cursor refuses to go towards the wayshrines I want to port to.

    You would think a newer device would work at least as good, if not better than the old one, but on this point that's not the case. I wish they would tell me why I can't zoom in as close on my PS5 as I can on my PS4. I often do my maps and stuff on my PS4 and grin and bear the zone times.

    Yeah same problem on ps5. I’ve learned to cope. But it’s annoying when the curser keeps jumping

    Greetings,

    This thread has been moved to the Bug Reports section, as it is better suited there.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    I think it’s because the PS4 upsampled to 4K and the PS5 is native 4K. I don’t believe the game code accounts for the difference properly and causes resolution issues. I seem to remember the wayshrine icons looked smaller on the map on PS4 than they do on PS5, too.

    EDIT: corrected some weird autocorrect choice

    I have no idea, but this sounds plausible. Do believe it's something they could fix if they really wanted to. It just doesn't seem important to ZOS at all, unfortunately.  Same with the mini map idea. 

    Stay safe :)

    Idk if this is new. On my PS4 i couldn't really zoom in on the map either. Had to use the Zoom feature all the time to see anything. You can enable it in the Playstation Settings -> Accessibility and then you have to press the PS button and the square button together every time you want to zoom in.

    As far as i can remember this has been a problem for years.

    Using a map is cheating anyway.
    I can't read a map in real life either.
