If pr makes the switch to topograph maps, then this would be sweet. Mappers could have fun with this.

Well I think the idea would be to make them small enough so that the players can only read it if they zoom in. But yeah, things like this would help navigation a whole lot. After all, imagine what things would be like in the real world without street signs...
It would be cool if there were some other labels too. To identify other things like mountain ranges, lakes, rivers villages etc. Just general points of interest.

the map that you see on the squad menu or when you push the "m" key or what you see in the commander view is called the minimap, players just confuse it cos there was a small box in the top right that ppl though was the "minimap" but in fact that was just showing a small part of the minimap, thou you could zoom it out to show the entire minimap.

This is a really great idea, could you imagine the imersive feel to pr. I mean it would just add so much depth to the game and a whole lot easier moving around the city, just imagine being cut off from your squad and them saying hey meet up at the corner of so and so. Also the suggestion for labels for mountain ranges and general points of interest is a great addition. Wonderful suggestion IMHO.

would people "hate" the idea of signs that should be in Chinese/Arabic/Russian but were put in the game in english, i mean they could still be Chinese/Arabic/Russian names but english letters. not quite 100% realistic but would add the same sort of gameplay.
one of the signs at the mine in qwai river is in arabic so it wouldnt be any less realistic than that.
