    Title: Pressing M toggles the compass but does not open SotaMap
    Reproduction Rate: 100% on Overworld and in Highvale Outskirts, assume everywhere
    Blocker? no, I can use a web browser on the laptop; of course, that doesn't indicate player position in-game
    Details: It may be intended off in QA, but in case it's not intentional, I thought I should report it.
    Steps to Reproduce: Press M to open SotaMap. The compass will toggle off, pressing M again toggles the compass on, but SotaMap does not appear.

    By default sotamap is not bound to a key but it IS accessible through the stained glass window icon and can be mapped in settings for those that want a key.

    I was thinking it just worked when I pressed M. I must have mapped it to my M key and forgot I did it. Thanks! If the new release will reset it to None, please include a warning in the Release Notes that we will need to remap it.

    I don't recall ever having to map it, but I could be wrong. Was almost 2 months ago.

    I had to map Sotamap on a computer that had an older install on it. On that computer it still had the M key mapped to the compass. On this computer the M key was mapped to the M key as well, but never opened Sotamap. When I finally decided to use Sotamap on a regular basis, I remapped the key to something else, I still like the M key toggled to the compass even though I never hide it. :)

    However, I installed SotA on a new computer just a few days ago and the M key was mapped to SotaMap and not the compass. It would seem that new installs bind the M key as intended, to open up Sotamap.
