How will it be controlled, though? By that I mean what is to stop a particular group from purposely falsifying the information about them? Maybe moving their icons over to the other side of a canyon so you drive right into them instead?

I think you misunderstand. There won't be one main map that everyone edits and shows enemy positions on. Because yes, then anyone could manipulate it to show anything.

Everyone will have access to their own private maps that they will be able to edit and share with their friends or squad mates or their outfit or whomever they trust.

Excellent!

That alleviates all my fears... and I look forward to getting off the government network to check it out when I get home!

kind of like a Google Docs spreadsheet, then?

This. Right here. AWESOME!

Hey everyone!

Just updated PlanetSide 2 Maps last night. We added in Hex Territory boundaries, a Grid Overlay and Map Filters. It feels just like the familiar Google Maps that we are all used to. Check it out!

Holy jeeze this is sweet. Been waiting for an offline map that works and has all the stuff on it! Thanks

Now, can we get directions please? I want to know the quickest route to The Crown and the scenic route.
