Map Table

A Map Table is a useful tool that displays most islands and regions found within the Sea of Thieves. It allows players to track their own ship's path and position on the sea, locate allies, identify potential threats or targets, and certain valuable treasures. A functional Map Table can found on all player ships, on Sea Forts, and at the Merchant Alliance station on Port Merrick.

The map is sectioned into a 26-square grid classified in alphanumeric coordinates, albeit navigation is not limited to this area.

Mechanics

The in-game view of the Map.

Interacting with the Map Table will open a full screen view of the map. The first player to interact with a Map Table will have full control of map navigation & zoom level until they close the Map Table. While the Map Table is in use, other players may still interact with it for a full view of the map but will have no control of map navigation. Should the player in control of the map become inactive, their control will be released after two minutes.

Interact Take control of, view or leave the Map Table.
Primary Use Marks and erases a circle at the cursor.
Directional Controls Move the map around.
Switch weapons/Scroll Zoom in and out.
