Now that there's (probably) been some time for testing out Arcaeology, I thought I'd give this a bump to hear if it's possible to see the feature I'm hoping for.
To reiterate, what I'd really like to see is a "goto nearest digsite" function. Once activated, the HUD arrow would point me to where the closest digsite on the continent is. It would keep the arrow there for as long as artefacts could be found there, and when the digsite is exhausted, the arrow would instantly point to where the closest active digsite is.
This is opposed to how I currently do it - zoom all the way out to see the digsite shovel icons, put my mouse pointer square on top of one, zoom in enough so that the icon disappears, right click and select goto, go there, survey, then once exhausted, zoom all the way out to look for the next digsite.
Would also be awesome if this "goto nearest digsite" function also activated drawing the artefact "nodes" on the map.
