    Just to be clear I am referring to when the curser automatically moves to the nearest icon on the map. I was just using the wayshrine as an example. It does this every time you open the map.



    Gotcha...for me I believe the best way to work around this is to fully zoom in on the map prior to moving your cursor around.
    I'm sure there are times my suggestion will not work but because there is no mouse support I prefer what exists.

    Perhaps there could be an option in the menu to turn some functions off

    The bolded is kind of funny coming from you.

    I thought that was funny as well.

    One of the problems I have is with the map system on the console. I play on the ps4 and can only assume it's the same for the xbox, when I'm trying to put a custom waypoint on the map the curser will be randomly drawn to the nearest location and make it virtually impossible at times to create a custom waypoint. Can we please have a way to turn this off? I would love to see a map option to turn this on and off to make the map system easier to use.
    Funny story.

    When this happened (and yes, it's the same on the XBox One), I thought my control stick was going out. So, the next day, I go and drop $50 on a new controller, plug it in, and realized it was the game doing it. Not that it was a waste of money, I needed a second controller anyway to swap while the other charges.

    Given that, I'm also going to raise my hand for this to be fixed on the console. It drives me nuts, too!

    best way to beat this is to hold either l2 or r2 you know the one that zooms in and out on the map screen. if you hold either one while moving your cursor it WILL NOT sticky to the closest marker on the map. you have to hold it though or it will sticky to the closest map marker

    At the very least they could reduce the distance at which this "sticky" thing happens. That way it'll make things easier.

    I find it helpful more often than I find it a pain. I don't think it deserves anyone's time or a place in the option menu.

    I like it and don't want others to be able to turn it off.

    Is this a common theme among console folks ? They don't like options , even for others ?

    I'm getting that vibe as well. They hate the idea of others having options for some strange reason.

    The sticky map bugs me too sometimes and would love an "option" to turn it off. I am more than capable of placing the marker myself.
