Okay, not to be annoying or anything but the objectives are still not right, three out of three, so far.
- the Codori Farm is not on Cemetery Hill.
- The Fisher Farm is not on The Angle.
- Gettysburg Quad is not at The Alms House.
Bummer. Nice try though. Yes, it is loaded correctly.

Jack with the map making tools finding the coordinates are pretty simple, but without them it is quite time consuming.
I don’t play with the houses on the map – I sort of deleted them from the packages file, but if I remember it is near the creek that runs down towards the round-tops.
The Coordinates that you have for the Codori Farm are – 125421,153027
Try this one – but it needs to be slightly adjusted – 160000,141000
Basically it appears to work something like this:
First set of numbers – South is a higher value than North – so to move the Objective South you would add a higher value than the previous number.
Second set of numbers – West to East.
A lower value will move the Objective West, and a higher value will move the Objective East.

The only way I've found to do it, is to ride a commander to each point of interest and record the x,y coordinates. Very tedious. :sick: After the patch becomes official, I'll release a new version of Couriers & Mini-maps which will have a number of locations labeled on the map along with the proper coordinates.

Ha! Figured it out. Pardon my stupidity. Installed everything correctly, but a different G'burg mod was overriding the Locations Mod. Found it, changed it, works fine now. Objectives are very random now. Thanks LP.

Good because I couldn't find anything wrong.
Glad you got it figured out.

Install it as a mod. Extract the zip file to your Mods folder and then enable in game.
