Pure brilliance - permanent compass markers (customizable)

Can't you already do this with some of those categories?
In the lower right hand corner of the map box, there's a drop down menu (well, technically, it's a drop UP menu) that allows you to check/uncheck certain things that you want displayed on the map.

The OP is suggesting the same items be displayable as permanent way-points on the nav compass.

Ahhh...missed that part. I would think that that would greatly clutter up the compass, though, as if you're in the corner of a zone, everything would overlap, but if you're in the middle, you'd have to stand there and turn around to see everything.|

Still, as an option, this couldn't hurt.

how about this ... when you hover over them ... instead of scattering like cockroaches they form up side by side ... like this

it would help if what you were trying to hover over wasn't a moving target.
FTW: have oragin specific stores separate from the rest

I just had the most genius freakin idea ever. If you are like me (and I guess that's somewhat unlikely), you permanently have a little mini map up in a corner of the screen, and when you mouse over icons they shoot all over the place and are hard if not impossible to click on to mark on the compass. This seems to be something that grows worse over time, possibly just due to so many different icons.
While the mini map and icons could be improved to discern between certain types of shops and gates so that only a couple of each show, thus clearing out garbage, I have an even better idea!
Let us customize what markers appear persistently on the compass, when available for that particular zone, with the following options:
Origin specific store
Trainer
Tram/Ferry
Non-tram/ferry transports (smugger ship, striga ferry, etc)
Passive Gates (street to skyway, entrance to sewers)
Architect Entertainment
Pocket D entrance
Hospital
Inspiration store
Consignment house
team leaders most recent mission that they have forgotten to select
team members
sg members?
You get the idea. Obviously not all of that list is needed, but just throwing every idea for markers out there. For me I'd have just trams/pocket d, and consignment. Allow it so the compass can have any number of these active at once, persistent, adapting to the correct locations based on the zone, absent when that zone has none of that type.
No more click frustration when you want to just get to where you are going!
