Returns[]

Details[]
- Note that the value returned represents the map being displayed, and not necessarily the player's actual location. The SetMapToCurrentZone() function will reset the values to represent the player's location.
- For macros however, since the map display is reset to the player's location when the world map is closed, this can be used as the player's location.
Known Issues[]
Patch 7.0.3 (2016-07-19): Incorrectly returning highest continent ID after login or ui reload. correctible by forcing update with SetMapToCurrentZone().
