Hello everyone. I see other people have had problems similer to mine iv tried to follow the instructions but they didnt help. Any where here it goes

Im looking for my aunt the map says in the vicinity of gran Granada. iv found my sister and my uncle. the map has an x on it so she should be here right? I have looked for several hours around gran granada iv walked all over the place and their arent any landmarks besides captians reef which might not even be right since their isnt any thing close to it. besides lots and lots of trees.

"in the vicinity of" does not mean that it is very close to the city. It may be just that it is the closest city (settlements do not count). Sometimes, you need to be very cross-eyed indeed to see the named city as the closest one, but that's how it works.

Do you have all four pieces of the map? I've had maps that clearly say "Search in the vicinity of [city]" but then if I get the final section it will magically change to say something like "Search north of [city]." With Gran Grenada it's usually either a "North of" map where it's near the coast way up north of it, or somewhere to the south if it sticks as a "vicinity" one.
