There should be a way for the GM to make everyone's views center on a part of the map, rather than relying on the ping tool constantly. The Player's don't nessicarily need it, but perhaps they should, in lieu of centering everyone's views, have their pings appear as arrows when they are beyond the view of the table, so the GM can see that they are trying to get his attention but not pull him forcefully away from something he is doing.
