Downloadable Maps

[selmack 7]

Saw a video of a guy who said he liked his map which he located online. Another I believe said this also - and during video I believe he marked his position so he could come back and get supplies in a car he hid.

I have googled a lot and see many maps but my question is - how do you make these maps accessable in the game? Is that possible? Can you set it to keep track of your position in the current game, where you have been, or where you have hid supplies or want to return?

Thanks for replies!!!!

You can pick up a map in game, usually in supermarkets and press 'M' to pull it up, if it's a recruit server, you will show up on it at your current location, I think nearby vehicles, players etc will also show up. If it's a veteran server, you won't show up and instead will have to figure out where you are based on nearby landmarks. Finding a GPS will also allow you to bring up a map.

You can mark the map by double clicking anywhere on it, however anyone who joins the server who also has a map can see everyone else's markings, so it's not a good idea to mark where your car/camps are.

You can set waypoints on the map by holding left shift and clicking on it, this will display a waypoint on your HUD directing you to wherever you marked it on the map.

If you can't find a map, there are some online ones you can use to find your way. http://www.dayzdb.com/map
