UESPWiki:Map Help

This article provides basic help and usage for the various UESP maps.

Where are all the UESP maps?

See the following list for all currently available online, dynamic maps from the UESP:

• Dragonborn Map
• Skyrim Map
• Shivering Isles Map
• Oblivion Map
• Morrowind Map

How do I use the map?

The map works just like Google Maps except the game map and locations are displayed instead of Earth's. Some common map operations are:

• Zoom In/Out -- Use the mouse's scroll wheel or the slider control in the upper right corner of the map.
• Pan -- Use the arrow buttons in the upper left corner of the map or 'drag' the map by left-clicking and dragging the mouse in the map area. You can also use the mini overview map in the lower right corner by clicking or dragging the blue map area.
• Center to a Location -- Double-click the location in the map.
• Reset -- You can reset the map by clicking in the 'Reset Map' link at the top of the page.

How do I find locations?

By default the map shows only certain locations depending on how far you are zoomed in. It will only show all known locations when you are at the highest zoom level. You can also search for specific locations by entering the text in the search box at the top-left of the screen and pressing Enter or clicking the search button (). Search results will be displayed under the search box if the search results area is open (click the "Show Search Results" under the search input box).

You can click on a search result to jump to that location at the current zoom level. Similarly, clicking the "zoom in" icon () can be used to jump to a location at an increased zoom level (one less than the maximum). Click on the icon to go to the UESP's wiki article for that location.

The search results can be cleared by performing a search with no text or by using the 'Reset Search' button ().

How do I get a permanent link to a location?

Use the "Link to Current Map" in the upper right of the page which will set the page address to the appropriate value. You can then copy the address to link to the map later (Right-Click and "Save Link As" in most browsers).

Location Icons

The location icons are generally the same as those used in each game as shown below

Is an offline version of the map available?

Currently no, however we are looking into the possibility of making one available. Unfortunately it is not easy due to the size of the images and the overall complexity of the application, particularly the server side code.

How does it work?

The map just uses the freely available Google Maps API using map image and location data exported from the game editors. More information on the design and implementation of the map can be found on the following UESP pages:

• Morrowind Map Design
• Oblivion Map Design
• Skyrim Map Design
• Dragonborn Design
