I'm sure SOMEONE in this group can figure out how to do this...
In both RIFT and LotRO, when you go to the larger-scale map views, as you mouse over the map, the coordinates change. It would be really nice to have something like this for, at the very least, the zone maps. While Cameraman and whatnot do give coordinates, it'd be a bit more convenient to have a good starting point for the demofile, and then go in to fine-tune it.
For example, using the most zoomed-in map available (like what Vidiotmap/Badge-Hunter used to post), I could select, say, Atlas Park, and then as I mouse over the map, a little window at the bottom corner shows the changing coordinates of my mouse. This way, I could go, "Okay, I want to put someone right near Wentworth's", mouse over to just outside Wentworth's, get its X/Y coordinates and then go from there.
Another handy reason for this is because the X/Y coordinates aren't always nicely lined up on some maps, so trying to 'guesstimate' can suck.
