What am I doing with the map on the wall? 8 hints left

Hint 1

Before you can do anything with the map, you need to get the pins out of the dresser to the left of the bed --

Hint 2

-- and you also need to open the desk and solve the wordsearch in Magnus's journal.

How do I open the desk?

How do I solve the wordsearch in the journal?

Hint 3

Okay, now you have a map full of letters and a tin box full of pins. What shall we do here?

Hint 4

In case it's not obvious, put a pin in the letters the stencil showed when you finished the wordsearch. You'll find them listed in Nancy's "Notes" at the lower right corner of your screen.

Hint 5

Each one of those letters appears on the map only once, so there's really no way to mess this up.

Hint 6

Well, no, I take that back. The capital letter J looks an awful lot like the capital I. If you think you're done but nothing happens, take the pin off the I (at the right side of the map) and put it on the J (at the top center).

Hint 7

When you've done it right, Nancy will draw red lines between the pins to reveal --

Hint 8

-- the number 14. You'll need this for the soundings puzzle.

What am I doing with the soundings map in the wheelhouse?
