The current UI has the minimap in the bottom-right corner, instead of the top-right corner. This is not a good position.
Firstly, it is unnatural. The minimap has always been in the top right, and this is the position most players are familiar with. To all of a sudden move that to a different position was jarring and unfamiliar, as well as making it lose functionality (as indicated by my next two points).
Secondly, my thumb often hovers over that area of the screen. The minimap is now almost always completely covered by my thumb, and I have to awkwardly move it in order to view or use it. The old position had my thumb hovering over the bottom part of the backpack, which was fine as I seldom needed to see that.
Thirdly, you can no longer use both sides of the action bar with the minimap open. This makes it very difficult to do certain PVM/bossing encounters where one would need to access both the action bar and the minimap.
Please, Jagex, if you see this, please move the minimap back to the top-right position where it should be.
