The idea is to make the world map (the 'M' map) to be continuous across all campaigns and displayed as a globe instead just a flat map. It would be similar to the Google Earth tool. This assumes the world of Tyria is indeed spherical, rather than just a flat world like the Earth was thought to be in ancient times. It would give the impression your character is part of something much bigger than just some rectangular zone, to really say "I am here!"
The interface would be scrollable and zoom-able just like it is now, but rendered in 3D and also rotatable. We don't know yet what lies across the vast oceans of Tyria or how far the continents expand, so the globe would probably have to be limited to a certain range of movement, maybe 120 degrees of rotation at most. For those who still have only one or two campaigns, the areas they cannot reach (Cantha for example) would remain enshrouded.
To fit in with the theme of Guild Wars, the map could be designed to look more like the globes of old rather than a completely accurate, topographical map of the modern era, something like this:
So yeah, it's basically Google Tyria with an old-style look. Sound cool?
