The ability to make notes on a map is quite good and everything but i could imagine making it to where you could make different type of notes instead of just a bunch of N’s like maybe being able when making the note to pick a character like an exclamation mark for something like a minefield or if you find special things you can’t get to a different character so it just doesn’t wind up just another N but an actual point you mean to get back to or bring your attention to a hazard you noticed earlier.

You can already do that, just make the first letter of your note start with the letter you want the note to show up as and follow it with a colon, for example: “T:Traps” will cause the icon on the map to appear as a T.
