After having done this, you need to keep the browser open so it can continue to receive your current location. Note that apparently, the browser closes itself after a short while when minimized. So, rather than minimizing, one can double click the top bar to collapse it. Moreover, clicking any link in e.g. chat will open that link in the currently active tab, so you may want to open and have 'active' a second tab for any adashbord posts, gifs, or other links you want to click.

Some of you may already know of the above. However, this still leaves you with the tiny region maps. When roaming, you may want the bigger faction warfare maps. This is easily possible. First, you need to complete all of the above steps (if you want to use the ingame browser, you will still need the tracking token). Then you need to copy your tracking token (in the examples this was '''jUBbvul1RR9EvCEM'''). Having done that, navigate to the faction warfare map you want and paste the following behind it: ''/T:$yourToken'' where $yourToken is whatever your token was. In the example case, for the Gallente - Caldari map, this would become: ''http://evemaps.dotlan.net/map/Caldari_VS_Gallente/T:jUBbvul1RR9EvCEM''. If you changed the map information, you may have something like ''#kills'' at the end of the URL. You need to remove this before pasting the ''/T:$yourToken'' behind it.
