Page/Map Default Starting Point / Rally Point

Just to bump up this topic.&nbsp; When setting up a Page/Map I'd like to be able to define the default location that the page loads on. a simple right-click action on a token that let's me define that the page loads with that token in the center. Should work for tokens on any layer. could be a player token or any other token really. could be a hidden token on the GM layer.&nbsp;&nbsp; That would solve a lot of scrolling issues on large maps and also avoids the need to design maps at a smaller scale to accomodate different resolutions. if the map loads for all players at the point I chose, then 100% zoom is totally ok. Some suggested also being able to set the default zoom level, but I think this simple center-map feature would suffice for a start.&nbsp; Similar request by&nbsp; Josh &nbsp; &nbsp;6 years ago here: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1339716/slug%7D" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1339716/slug%7D</a> The suggestion from Josh siy years ago still seems to be active. I'm just terrified by the amount of time that suggestion has been on the "we're not sure we need it" list.&nbsp; Similar request on a Rally Point by&nbsp; WWQuicksilver &nbsp;in 2020 here <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7458913/slug%7D" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7458913/slug%7D</a> &nbsp; Similar request by @ Seth-E . in 2019 <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7115821/slug%7D" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7115821/slug%7D</a>
OH MY GODS YES! +1 I made the mistake of setting the starting point on a map in the lower left hand corner of my map once, and my players were irritated that they had to scroll to the new location. We also had multiple instances of ending session in the middle of a map, making it required for me to ping them to location every time we loaded up. This should seriously be implemented. Having a token that pings location on map load would make things so convenient, and being able to move that token would allow you to set it on the party leader. If it could be implemented to select which players get pinged on which token, that would also help, because there are times when a party splits. It is a bit of extra work on a GM to set each party member to ping on their token location, but in the long run it would make things a lot easier.&nbsp;
