#Before applying this step, make sure your controller settings are set to Default. This can be tricky, but you must hold these buttons one after the other in this exact order: '''LB + RB + LS + A + UP (D-PAD)''' to toggle Show Coordinates/Camera Mode. A bunch of strange numbers should come up on your screen. This is normal. You have turned coordinates on. The first three numbers (or values) are the position of the camera along the three axis, the next set of values is where the camera is facing, and the last value (next to where it says [Pan Cam]) is the speed at which the camera will move when you move it. If you have any problems check if your controller is set to the control default scheme. It does not work on any other setting.

*Another method discovered is to complete steps 1-5. Then, you may increase your speed (UP on the D-Pad) to about 100,000 on the left side of the decimal. Then, lightly push the right trigger all the way down once. This should make you seem to appear above the map. It's better to do this on a normal, un-forged map (besides the fusion coils).
