How do those work? Right?

But seriously, I've got the basics down, what's in the guide and what not.

An issue in running into is that they won't be centered all the time, is there a way to correct for that?

And are there additional tools available for use with them outside of the pins?

I think it centers on the first pin, so if you want it centered on the center of the map, put the first pin at the center of the map (or where ever you want the map centered) and all other pins after that.

Also, you can put images and links inside the locations to make it a bit more interactive (see Castle Waterdeep in example below).

Example:

Is it an issue that they're off-center when places inside spoiler tags? It seems to be working fine when posted outside of them, but inside the tags it gets sqeued a little.

Hmmm, that's annoying. Seems to align the first pin with the upper left corner of the field of view instead of the center from inside a spoiler, etc. I'm not sure how to fix that.

While you try to figure out how to get the behavior consistent, you can use as is and document it as a "feature to be changed". It's only a real problem if you use the same map and pins both in and out of spoiler tags. If used in only one configuration you can either put a centering pin or an anchoring pin in the op left as the first pin.

That's a good idea. Thanks.
