Find starting location will add a Dioptra shaped icon to your cartography compass, beside the spyglass that points towards the range pole. this is the direction you will need to face to successfully survey a location. obstructions and objects will not matter as long as you are facing the correct direction.
To create a Painted Map out of a survey, you need to have a fully stocked Cartography Table available. a Cartography Table with Blank Maps, Ink pot (with ink/dye inside), and an Ink Brush will allow you to highlight a completed survey in your inventory, and right click on the table to Create Map. once completed you will have a Painted Map added to your inventory, spending the Survey. this painted map can be added to the cartography table if you wish to copy it, or expand a map.
Expanding a map requires 2 or more Painted Maps to be stored inside your Cartography Table. 4 are preferred for a small expansion (since the map formed will be a square. using 2 or 3 maps will leave a large gap on the final enlarged map.) once selected you will get an interface that allows you to move the maps into whatever form you want with the final product being a copy of everything imposed over each other.
Stamps require a great deal of preparation to do anything other then basic graphic stamping. to create a Stamp you simply need to shape some clay with your hands. once a clay stamp is made you can use a clay shaper to change the graphic the stamp represents. the default is an "X".

adding gems to your stamp before you fire it will allow the stamp to gain additional features.
*Sapphires allow you to link a stamp to a deed somewhere in the world. doing this will add the deed name, mayor name, and deed motto to a rollover under the graphic when you stamp a map with this.
*Rubies allow you to link a stamp to a Structure, such as a guard tower, Colossus, or mission structure. any relevant info of the structure will be shown on a rollover when you mouse over the graphic once stamped on the map.
*Emeralds allow you to add a date stamp to the graphic you link with this stamp.
*Diamonds allow you to add text to the graphic you link with this stamp.
*Opals allow you to link a stamp with a location on your in game map. this will allow a player to click on this stamp in the game map, creating a popup link to the atlas map of that location, if you have the Atlas available in your inventory.
each of these stamps must be "linked" to something to function. the sapphire and ruby stamps require you to find the object in the game world, and link it directly (highlight the stamp in your inventory, and right click the structure; Link Stamp.) the emerald and diamond stamps require you to right click them, and add a date/time or text before they will function as such. the opal will require you to stamp your game map, and your painted map respectively before they will link to one another.
