Just wondering..
 

In the pictures of your maps, they are completely filled in. I downloaded and installed the auto map updater, and when I open up my map, I see all the points of interested, npcs, quest locations, etc, but most of the map is still black, because I haven't discovered it yet. Is it supposed to be like this, or is it supposed to be completely filled in like the map pictures on the site here?

For the built in maps, with the "fog of war" type covering, you need to visit the area before you can see the map under it. For all of the custom maps that don't have the fog of war, you can see the entire map as soon as you zone in.

Just to clarify a little, any maps SOE made for hunting zones has fog of war enabled and that is hard coded basically.
