How Can I Make the Radius Map More Useful for Navigating in Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition?

I’ve been playing Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition for a while, and I’ve noticed some challenges with using the radius map effectively for navigation. When exploring larger areas with multiple quests and interactions, I often feel like the map doesn’t provide enough context or clarity about what’s nearby. It can be tricky to locate specific points of interest or navigate towards quest objectives without constantly switching between maps and zones.

For instance, I’ve found myself wishing there was an easier way to mark or highlight important areas directly on the radius map. It would be helpful if the tool allowed for more detailed tracking of objectives or NPCs without needing external notes or repeated map-checking. Has anyone else experienced this issue, and do you have tips or strategies for making better use of the radius map?

I am inspired by the idea that some modern tools in other games offer, where the radius or area map can help you better understand your surroundings and give clearer directions as to how you can navigate through them. One such tool that comes to mind is the Interactive Compass(Boussole interactive), which dynamically adapts to environments and helps track objectives or paths more intuitively. It feels like something similar could work well here to enhance the experience.

Are there specific settings, mods, or techniques that make the radius map more practical for navigation? I’d love to hear how others are tackling this challenge and what solutions you’ve found useful in your playthroughs.
