Map travel

In Guild Wars the term "map traveling" or just "traveling" refers to "teleporting" directly to a location by double-clicking the location on the in-game overview map (accessed via the "M" key).

You can travel to any cities, outposts or missions you've "unlocked". To unlock a location on your map, you must have been there before (usually by walking there on foot or by completing a mission).

Using this feature greatly reduces the time necessary to traverse the huge world of Guild Wars. Note that a player leaves his party behind when travelling this way, although the leader of a party will bring his whole party along with him when he uses map travel. Also note that this feature can neither be used to transport a player to an outpost he hasn't yet been to (the party leader may choose to leave that player behind) nor to transfer a larger party to an outpost, than the limit that can be created there (i.e. you cannot go with a party of more than four players to an outpost in Ascalon; in that case the party leader can chose to travel alone).
