[[Dotlan]] is a very useful out of game (OOG) tool that most people pick up on quickly. One issue that people tend to have is figuring out where on the map they are. Dotlan radar is a tool that shows you exactly where you are. However, at first sight there are two issues with this:
 
−
* It requires the use of an in-game browser
 
−
* It does not work with the (much bigger) faction warfare maps
 
−
Here, we will show you that both are actually easy to overcome problems. For those of you only interested in using the FW maps, you can skip the first part.

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.
