The Minimap is a tool for navigating the game map without having to drag it around blindly. Opening it shows a full map of the county in which the area on which the game map is centered, although if the map is centered on the northern or eastern edge of a county, the mini-map will display the county to the north or east, respectively. A white box shows the centered area and markers show the locations of all towns, ghost towns, forts, quest givers, and the job selected in the drop-down list.
