The [[World Map]] is a full screen window which can be accessed by pressing the '''"M"''' key. It allows you to view the entire map for the continent you are currently in ([[Tyria]], [[Cantha]], [[Elona]] or the [[Battle Isles]]). Any explorable areas you have explored and [[mission]]s, [[outpost]]s, [[town]]s and [[arena]]s you have visited will also be shown. By double-clicking any map icon you can instantly travel to that location. You can zoom in and out by clicking.

Note: If for any reason you want to take a screen shot of the entire map, pressing the "Shift" key at the same time as the "PrtScn" key will hide icons in the screenshot.

When the current area is underground, its map will be displayed in a hovering callout box. If this box is closed, it can be re-opened by pressing a button marked "mission map" in the lower left corner. Underground areas are never required for [[cartographer]] titles; some even reset their exploration every time you leave them.

Some areas, such as the [[guild hall]] and the portal-less battle areas that most [[PvP]] matches are fought in, do not appear on the world map at all; the map will just display the [[region]] that the area is located in. These areas ''do'' display &mdash; and are typically always shown as fully explored &mdash; on the [[mission map]].
 +
 +
[[Image: World Map Pins.jpg|thumb|right|Map pins and travel icons when zoomed out]]
 +
 +
Dragging anywhere will pan the map, and clicking anywhere that is not an icon will zoom the map out to a continental view. While zoomed out, everything is hidden and unusable; [[town]]s, [[mission outpost]]s, and [[arena]]s are shown as colored pins, and the current quest's area name is reduced to a green starburst. Town pins are gold, mission outpost pins are gray and arena outpost pins are red. Only [[ship]]s, [[Asura gate]]s and the [[Vortex]] remain completely visible and functional. Return to local zoom by clicking anywhere.
 +
 +
* The world map can be accessed by pressing a key (default: '''M'''), or from the [[menu]]. It can be closed by pressing the same key again or with a small button in the lower right.
 +
 +
 +
==Notes==
 +
 +
* Map icons are considered [[interface]] elements and will be hidden in a '''Shift-PrintScreen''' [[screenshot]]. This will not, however, hide the scrolling cloud layer or the tiny-white-swirl markers for [[portal]]s.
 +
* The world map cannot be zoomed out in [[Ascalon (pre-Searing)|Pre-Searing]] or the [[Battle Isles]]; these [[regions]] are only about a screenful when zoomed in.
 +
* The green current location marker is approximately as large as the [[danger zone]] marker in the [[compass]].
 +
* Map icons for incomplete missions will glow, and when zoomed out, the map pin for an incomplete mission will glow.
 +
* Unlike all others, the [[Eye of the North]] [[mini-mission]] and [[dungeon]] markers are non-selectable for map travel and only serve as markers for the places they represent and the status of those missions and dungeons. They only show their names on mouse-over, as well.

The World Map while trekking through an explorable area

The World Map, also known as the M map, is a full screen display which shows the map of the entire continent you are currently on. The default key for bringing up the world map is the 'm' key.

At the default local zoom, any previously visited staging area on the continent will be displayed as an icon on the map, and can be instantaneously "map-traveled" to by clicking or double-clicking the icon.

Local zoom will display the same red "breadcrumb" dots as are shown on the on-screen mission map while in missions and explorable areas. Your location is marked by a green crosshair.

Explorable areas that have been visited will be named on the map. The name of the explorable area containing the active quest will be shown in green, and will often be visible even it has not been visited, along with a marker showing the portal that will take you closer to that area.

The underground area view

When the current area is underground, its map will be displayed in a hovering callout box. If this box is closed, it can be re-opened by pressing a button marked "mission map" in the lower left corner. Underground areas are never required for cartographer titles; some even reset their exploration every time you leave them.

Some areas, such as the guild hall and the portal-less battle areas that most PvP matches are fought in, do not appear on the world map at all; the map will just display the region that the area is located in. These areas do display — and are typically always shown as fully explored — on the mission map.

Map pins and travel icons when zoomed out

Dragging anywhere will pan the map, and clicking anywhere that is not an icon will zoom the map out to a continental view. While zoomed out, everything is hidden and unusable; towns, mission outposts, and arenas are shown as colored pins, and the current quest's area name is reduced to a green starburst. Town pins are gold, mission outpost pins are gray and arena outpost pins are red. Only ships, Asura gates and the Vortex remain completely visible and functional. Return to local zoom by clicking anywhere.

  • The world map can be accessed by pressing a key (default: M), or from the menu. It can be closed by pressing the same key again or with a small button in the lower right.


[edit] Notes

  • Map icons are considered interface elements and will be hidden in a Shift-PrintScreen screenshot. This will not, however, hide the scrolling cloud layer or the tiny-white-swirl markers for portals.
  • The world map cannot be zoomed out in Pre-Searing or the Battle Isles; these regions are only about a screenful when zoomed in.
  • The green current location marker is approximately as large as the danger zone marker in the compass.
  • Map icons for incomplete missions will glow, and when zoomed out, the map pin for an incomplete mission will glow.
  • Unlike all others, the Eye of the North mini-mission and dungeon markers are non-selectable for map travel and only serve as markers for the places they represent and the status of those missions and dungeons. They only show their names on mouse-over, as well.
