      So yeah, very handy.

      One major change we've done to how you interact with the map is that we've done away with beacons.

      The main reason for this is because we felt that they were too clunky to use, and it's always awkward when you have to run up to the beacon to be able to configure it.

      So when you're far away on the map and you have all the beacons placed, you can't remove them easily individually.

      You have to actually go to them physically.

      You can't change the names and stuff like that.

      So we always felt that it's better to just interact with them on the map.

      There are some cases where we feel like beacons might still be useful.

      So we kind of see like if we actually do away with them completely.

      But this system is sort of designed to like fill in, you know, sort of the same functionality as the beacons and more sort of.
