Coordinates on maps and tweaked map size

Give players the option to see coordinates on maps or just make the coordinates dedicated to maps. Also, adjust the size of maps when used in the offhand (By offhand I mean when dual wielding a map). As of right now, the maps, when equipped on one singular hand, are slightly larger than the java and legacy console editions of Minecraft. I want this added to the game so that older console players can "feel welcomed" to bedrock edition. This could also give bedrock some much needed polish.

    I'd like to see maps (when viewed in main/off hand at least) show the range of X & Z coordinate. Then when I have a bunch of maps in my inventory I can more easily pick out the one for where I am in the world.

    What they can do to maps is like a mark for a place.

    Like if you found a gigantic cave system, you would want to go back to that cave to mine resources. Most players write the coordinates or take a screenshot, but none of those is compact. Instead they can add this feature that if you find a place, and you want go back to it in the future, you can use cartography/crafting table to make a map mark using a map and something like a quill (just like in Book and Quill).If you find my thinking interesting, then please support it. Thank you. :)

    I would like to see this so at least on bedrock you won't need to have coordinates on screen at all times, you could just carry the map around.

    I feel that they should put coordinates back on only the starting maps and any maps that you create. I can understand wanting to create a good challenge for the player so leaving of an explorer map or a treasure map is reasonable but I think maps that we start with and make or receive from cartography villagers (with the exception of explorer maps) have the X, Y, Z coordinates on the maps again

    Yes, we NEED this! This feature is definitely the feature I missed the most after switching to Bedrock.

    KShaiban13 Your Idea is an already existing feature ONLY on Java edition. Basically, you place a banner in the place you like, right-click it and BOOM it shows up as a marker on the map. Either way, this does not exist on Bedrock and I don't see why so plz mojong add thx.
