Minimap Settings

JourneyMap allows you to have two minimap presets. Each preset represents a separate set of settings - essentially allowing you to have two distinct minimaps available to switch between.

Note

The settings for each minimap are identical, so we’ll only cover a single preset below.

To switch between minimap presets, press the switch minimap preset key (the \ key by default).
