I'd like to see a map mechanic that displays map icons as you hover over them on the drop down list.
The way this would work is if you bring up the drop down list of map icons, when you move your cursor over one of the items, if it is NOT already checked it will temporarily make the icon visible on the map for as long as you hover your mouse cursor over that icon in the drop down list. It should also bring that icon above any other nearby icons that are on the map.
If the icon is already checked, then it will simply make sure that icon is brought on top of any other icons that may be hiding it.
IN FACT, it might be nice that when you hover over one of these icons in the drop down list, that it would bring it to the top of any other icons AND begin flashing that icon on the map.
