Would love to see the navmap improved. It is really frustrating to get a message saying a convoy is at "Lat/Lon" but I cannot find the location because the map border is blocking it.

And if you access the map with 'M' key?

I will be super honest, I have used the M key LOOOONG before I realized there was a GUI button. So, yes, I use the M key

Humm, sorry that it didn't help...
What resolution are you playing with? Try to change in your grafics card the 'scaling options'. Try Fullscreen with GPU to see if the map renders differently. Also I remember that there are resolution fixes for TWoS, try to use one which best fits your ratio (4:3, 5:4, 16:9, 16:10...).

I am running at 4K, 16"9. The issue is the checkered bar along the edge of the map. It just covers the Lat/Long I will try and get a screenie

Thanks to provide a picture, I now see clearly your problem. Unfortunately the higher the resolution you play at, the smaller the font sizes at display. I'm afraid that the only remedy is to lower the resolution. I think the map grafics (comming from TDW 7_5_0?) are optimized for a resolution 1920x1080. Using higher resolutions will undoubtly make all 3D visuals much better, no question, but alas the fonts will get very small and displaced like in this case.
Be sure to link this picture in the main WoS thread so Vecko can see it and make some better suggestions. Ideal would be: using another font set if available, or at least changing the font color for better contrast. But no idea about how to do that, sorry.
