(side note: I don't get a star on my map - I get an arrow-styled marker as I've enabled the Dark Waters module that changes campaign map icons).
2. I patrol within the circle and never had any issues with the above.

In summary: Simply ignoring grid coordinates and going off of visual marker plus the "n kilometers range" value in mission text works great.
Finally, someone who reads posts.
i think i may stroke-out from the shock!

I forgot about that little detail... lol - but it is supposed to actually be a 3rd Reich Eagle statue... lol - It did not translate too well in the "shrinking" process...

Is it this arrow+textbox that had a 3RE statue?
I'm curious where was the eagle, at the bottom of the text (above the arrow's base)?

To quote Fifi from Page One of the thread: "- OM Strategic Map Symbols will bring more accurate map symbols for mission objectives. Can be activated anytime in bunker.", which my oldmanitis-infested brain forgot about when you mentioned "arrow", so you have the map symbols activated in your mod. However, that does not change the fact that the default SH4 mission icon marker is rather klunky... lol, but also shows-out an old and tired brain.
