How to use the MAP! Help :(

[SeaNanners (DayZ) 1]

This is probably the dumbest question of all time.

How do you use the MAP? I know you press 'M' but after that I only see like 30% of the map as far as I know. When I try to move it it takes so slow to creep up and down on the map. When I say slow I mean slow as fuck! What am I missing? Keyboard keys I need to know? Everytime I find a map I always wanted to go to high traffic areas such as the air field, but of course I can't because I don't know how to use the fucking map :(

I'm such a retard :(

Help appreciated :)

EDIT - I'm really new to dayz.

How do you mean? Doesn't the map load? Is your game laggy, and do you have a good computer?

Right click, left click drag aruund and whatnot. Use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out. :)

Use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out, to increase the speed that you navigate the map hold down the right mouse button and move the mouse around.

Hi retardrandom noob,

Press M

Mouse wheel to zoom in and out

Double click to put a marker (all with a map can see it)

Left Shift+ Click to set a waypoint (some servers disable waypoints)

Have fun dying.

Try visiting dayzdb.com, they have a very detailed map that, in my opinion, is nicer looking than the in-game one.

DayZ DB map may be more detailed, however its coord's are inaccurate and not as precise as the in-game map. Only use it to see what loot types are around you, or plotting a loot run. Otherwise use the In-game map to navigate the wilderness within the game.

hi,

It seems you have low fps while you navigate on the map. It is performance problem.

Have a look to this links:

EDIT: NVM I didn't read carefully your post.

Agreed, I just figured he's not too concerned with exact coordinates. The in-game map is definitely the better option once he gets more comfortable with the game.
