I'm not on my PC so I cannot support the links to show but I know Draconis has seen the doctored up Origin pictures of players roaming the world and some using a primitive radar. Even though it lacks the N S E W directionals like the up-to-date radar I still prefer it because with the map size being what it is, needing directionals (for myself) are not needed.
What I like about it is it doesn't take up so much space without the directionals.
If you like it Drac and don't already have a radar ready to implement feel free to add mine.
Lunga Vive Pre-Alfa !!
