I found that when I installed eq2maps I lost the ability to see quest givers and quest updaters (the orange empty circles and orange solid circles that correspond to the quill and book icons over NPCs).
This should fix it.
Edit the eq2ui_mainhud_map file under UI/EQ2MAP (or wherever you configured the auto updater to put your files, just don't try and change the file under the UI/Default folder)
Right under the line thas is:
<ImageStyle Name="youarehereDot">
<ImageFrame Name="imageFrame" Source="images/icons/icon_map3.dds" SourceRect="168,168,210,210"/>
</ImageStyle>
Add the following two lines (found in the same file name in the UI/Default folder):
<ImageStyle Name="questGiverDot">
<ImageFrame Name="imageFrame" Source="images/icons/icon_map1.dds" SourceRect="126,210,168,252"/>
</ImageStyle>
<ImageStyle Name="questUpdaterDot">
<ImageFrame Name="imageFrame" Source="images/icons/icon_map1.dds" SourceRect="168,210,210,252"/>
</ImageStyle>
Once you add those six lines to the file that the updater downloads for you, you should be good to go.
I'm assuming the new version of the updater tool will have these extra lines, but this should get you going right away
