    So I've made this mistake countless times already, even though I made many mental notes not to. In any case, the HUD/marker icon for Go Via Location instruction is the same as Stop at Location. This has made me stop where I should have kept going so many times it's not even funny, all because the icon is the same.

    I propose an edit to the Go Via Location icon so that it is something like below.

    Screenshot 1 - Default Icon for both Stop At and Go Via Location.

    Screenshot 2
    - my concept for new Go Via Location HUD icon and marker.

    Now, it literally took me 1 minute to draw that arrow with the Pen Tool in Photoshop. Dear DTG Artists: You went as far as making new icons for coupling/de-coupling, but left the same icon for both of these? An artist could have an icon done in the amount of time it takes the average person to read this thread. C'mon now, please?

    Good suggestion. I'm not a big fan of the new huds/UI, it's all very cluttery.

    Very, very good idea. Such a minor but powerful change.

    Good work! It's become clear that it's where I have to via some point.

    Yeah exactly. When you're seeing just the center marker, focusing on your game (who looks in the top left corner even?) and you see that marker, it's apparent you're just rolling through.

    I was coming to the forum to make exactly the same suggestion, including the icon you mocked up.

    But what does 'Go via Location' actually mean? I really don't get this objective. It's not like I have any choice to take another route. What's the point of the objective?

    But yes, change the Icon or give them colors? Red for stop and green for go via location

    Just a reminder that you bumped a 2 year old thread and the icons have been changed for some time now.

    I think it's for tsw3 only. At least that's what the patch notes from when it was changed says. I don't know about tsw2 since I removed that once tsw3 came out
