There is no small map in New World, which makes many players feel uncomfortable. Soon after the game was released, players made their own minimaps to solve this problem, but this was not officially accepted by the game. So when you use the minimap, your account may be banned, because the minimap is a third-party application prohibited by New World.

Fortunately, New World has now allowed the existence of small maps. Now you can find Amazon Game Studios' explanation on adding minimaps on the official forum of this game.

Right now creating a mini-map is not a high priority for us as we have other items we feel are more pressing. The high level reasoning is that we have concerns with it meshing with New World’s action combat style and world design, that it could break immersion, may limit the drive for exploration, and there are technical limitations. We feel the compass fulfills the needs, fits the setting, promotes exploration, and supports combat.

The mini-map can:

• Show player position.
• Show folks in group as we do on compass.
• Only show node placement if they’ve unlocked that node via tradeskills, provided it is within the range that compass would display them.
• Only show AI that you’ve unlocked via tradeskills as compass and within range of compass.
• Show quests as they do on compass.

The minimap is now available in New World, so would you try this feature?
