Need a map feature

[SpazMarine]

Wish they would add a map feature, perhaps like on the cyclops on the console across from where you customize its color and name

[Phaota]

Agreed. A detailed map with the ability to put interest points and label them would be very helpful.

+1, some sort of mapping feature would be nice.

Topographic charts would be even nicer :)

[SpazMarine]

That would be awesome and perhaps some sort of sonar

[moonmadness]

a mapping tool would be very nice.

failing that, the ability to only turn on selected beacons would do in a pinch.

I´m in between. Sure, I want a map too.

On the other side is this exploring feeling. The only map is in your brain (and helpful things in wiki ^^). Yeah, these helpful things..., I´m in between, you see ;-)

But in the game, I often feel lost, search for oriantation, help me with compass and buoys and so on. That is the game, what´s making for, imho.

This is the other side, which has an interesting viewpoint.

I support this idea!

Funny thing is, there is a topographical station in the Cyclops on the right wall. It's just waiting to be fully functional.

Press F1 while in the game. It brings up a debug menu and, among other things, will show you your coordinates on the map. It's called "camera pos" or something like that. Cheating? That's up to you to decide but it gives you an option to write down the coordinates of valuable finds.

[Phaota]

We're not talking about camera position, but an actual visual map.

[Absolution]

I know what you're talking about. I am simply offering a solution to the problem of not yet having a map available in game. I, too, would like a map in game and, in general, better means of understanding where I am in the world. Monitors in the cockpit of the Cyclops that show what's above/behind/beside/below the sub to better avoid hitting stuff, for example.

[Player One]

this map should be revealed by the player i think...thisway exploring would not be disturbed.

I agree Maybe a certain hud or arm console with a map would be cool

[[RDBK]Bacon]

I'd be happy if it was limited to being on the Cyclops or to a particular console or something, but yeah, this game REALLY needs a map.

[mijxero]

I think the scanner room should allow you to add a module to your suit that either maps as you go or allows the probes to create a map as they swim along. Yeah a map, even if it just shows the biomes would be very helpful.

Now that you can view Screenshots on your PDA one workaround for not having an actual map is to copy a map .jpg (there are several under the Artwork tab) into your Subnautica screenshots folder and pull it up on the PDA when needed.

I understand it's not the same as an actual in-game map but it gets the job done for now.

This guide shows how to put your own .jpgs into picture frames but the idea is the same for maps:
