Guild Wars 2

how do I get ore,wood,herbs to show on big map (M)? I can see them in the small map in game but when I ust the big map (M) I can not. Is this the way it is or am I missing something?

all correct, you can’t see gather stuff on the big map

It is what it is….

You CAN zoom out the small map, but your detection range for nodes is not much better than the range of it fully zoomed in.

Here is a website that might help you, however (limted to LVL 70+ areas and T6 materials)
