The map
Chernarus, full screen, built for a phone. What you see depends on who you are, and every layer is a switch.
The map is behind login and a linked character. Nobody sees it without both.
| Layer | Who sees it | What is on it |
|---|---|---|
| You | everyone linked | your last known position |
| Your base | your clan, or you if solo | your declared pole and its 100 m watch zone |
| Clanmates | your clan | every member's last known position, name, and how old the position is |
| Intruders | your clan, or you if solo | anyone who is not on your roster — pending members included — seen inside your watch zone; the pin moves every time a new position comes in while they are inside, and drops off after 60 minutes without one |
| Bounties | everyone linked | the last known position of every player with an open bounty on them, shown only while they are online and only as long as the bounty lasts — the one exception to "nobody outside your clan" (Fair play) |
| Public bases | everyone linked | every undeclared pole past its grace, with the flag flying there |
| Pins | your clan | pins any member drops — icon, note, who and when |
| Travel points | everyone linked | all 518 fast-travel points — outhouses and wells (Getting around) |
| Terrain | everyone linked | grid, towns, roads |
Positions come from the server log once every five minutes. Every pin shows its age — "14 min ago", "3 h ago", "yesterday". "Last known" means exactly that. You cannot use this map to track a live fight, and that is on purpose: it is a strategic map, not live tracking.
Only your own clanmates' positions are ever visible to you, plus intruders inside your own watch zone, and any player with an open bounty on them while they are online. A solo declarant gets the same intruder layer for their own base. No player's position is shown to anyone outside their clan for any other reason — not on a public page, not in Discord, not in an announcement.
Pins#
Press and hold (right-click with a mouse) to drop one where you pressed, or use Pin here to drop one at the centre of the map — move the map and the pin moves with it until you drop it. Pick an icon — loot, vehicle, enemy seen, meet here, danger, note — add text if you want, and everyone in the clan sees it with your name and the time. Anyone in the clan can delete a pin. Pins expire after 7 days. Nothing about a pin ever leaves the clan.
Things the map is honest about#
- A member who logged off an hour ago has an hour-old pin. A member gone a week has a week-old pin, dimmed. The map never implies someone is there when it does not know.
- A raid in progress will show up five to seven minutes late at best. Use it to know who has been around your base, not to fight.
- Dormant clans keep their map. The crate stops; the map and your flag do not. You need both to go back and re-raise.
