It's not a video game. If you cast locate object, it's not going to pop up with a map marker with the distance counting down below it as you get closer. It just located an object within that range. You don't see the range circle, you just know the object is somewhere in range of your spell.
You've been proven wrong. Official text in a source book even states the maps aren't accurate. So take the L and stop trying to prove you're right. You come across as a sore loser, and honestly, a bit of a dick to keep pushing when you've been proven wrong.
My friend, I'm not a sore loser and there is no reason to attack me. I know it's not a video game. If it only locates an item within a range, then you can keep moving away from it till it stops magically pinging. Then you can measure that range and use the same process to determine when something is that distance again. Think of it like measuring the total length of a straight of wood then reusing the wood to measure another object. You dont need to know anything more than that to begin measuring something.
I know that the maps in the setting are inaccurate, however I will to also point out that the maps we are referencing are not in the setting. My arguments are being misconstrued, but you seem to think that I should be okay with them being misrepresented. I'm having a fun time talking here, and I've also been considering this for over 20 years and this is the first time I've been able to test my thoughts on this in a dialogue setting, so yeah I'm going to keep talking in this thread. Do not confuse my resoluteness with being a sore loser. If someone brings a point up that I cannot refute with prior information I will concede, however people seem to not be understanding what I'm saying.
I want to see the right answer, or the most right answer we can get, and I'm willing to aid in removing the cruft that is refutable until we get that most right answer.
