Personally I don't think I'd get any use of it.

Every node have a set place to spawn, every mob has a set area to spawn...
I might not get the idea or something, but from what it sounds it doesn't seem like anything one would use.

EDIT: Welcome by the way!

radar is useful for finding Hunts.

here is an introduction to Hunts
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/2bepui/hunts_a_very_long_guide_for_newish_people/

Basically, there are Rank B, A and S enemies that will spawn during specific timers around zones in the game. Players are expected to come across them and engage with other players to take them down. Rank B can be solo, A needs a small group and S needs a large group or multiple groups to take these beasts down. A Radar plugin will make it easier to search for the Hunts, especially if this radar can be overlayed on top of the game as you search for them. Currently we have lvl 50 and lvl 60 Hunts. Right now, there isn't much need as most players are probably not doing hunts, but I do believe you can use the currency obtained from Hunts toward your relic. As this seems to a big push from the game developers to keep Hunts in the game, I will not be surprised if we see more use of them in the future.

Personally, I think a radar would be a great addition.
