Distance displayed with FWMF is wrong

for some reason the custom (blue marker) seems to report the objective as being much farther away than it is, like off of the map far away. Like I put a marker for an area that was 500ft away but the marker said it was 8000ft away

Here's pictures showing exactly what i mean:

It happens anywhere. The only thing i can think of it being is maybe an incompatibility with flat map markers?

I'm having the same issue as well, tho it's not a bug, its just an incompatibility with Flat Map Markers. I'm not using Flat Map Markers from it's own page but from Flat World Map Framework (FWMF) mod page instead.

All quest markers are fine except the Custom Destination map marker's height positioning is being set on FWMF's marker height, 180000 feet, no matter where or what.

Flat Map Markers as a culprit sounds believable, right? :) but its not. you can turn it off, and distance counter will behave just the same. it's just how 2D flat map and custom marker work. NiTriShape with the map texture in mesh lays on a fair distance from the ground level (180k, kinda almost highest point of mainland skyrim, Throat of the World summit) to be over the vanilla 3D map, and when you setting up custom marker, you are placing it on this height as well.

there is workaround for the issue that doesn't require skse plugin, but it causes other, more serious problems. so unless alexsylex or other skse wizards are willing to mess with that distance calculation or custom marker mechanics, it will be like that, unfortunately.

not that big deal tbh tho, its not like custom destination marker is smth people use often.
