📋 About This Mod



is a comprehensive overhaul of how you find your way in Skyrim VR. It provides detailed maps of each hold, province, and isle included in the base game, as well as optional add-ons for Bruma and Wyrmstooth. On top of this, it includes a functional Compass. All of these items are designed to work with VRIK holsters. The Compass operates like a real compass, the needle will always point North.

Upon loading the mod for the first time, you will see four items in your inventory; Map of Provinces and Isles, Map of Skyrim, Map Storage Case and Compass. The Compass, and Map of Provinces and Isles, may be equipped. These items behave similar to weapons, once equipped from your inventory, draw your weapons; typically this action is assigned to the trigger buttons, then holster them on a VRIK holster. VRIK sees these items as daggers, as such make sure the holster you are attempting to place it on is set to accept daggers. We will discuss the Map of Skyrim and Map Storage Case shortly. You will not be able to holster these items unless in combat stance.

Navigate VR includes 15 maps. Among these are 9 detailed hold maps, with every location placed and named by hand, 3 maps of Skyrim with various levels of map markers shown, and a Map of Solstheim. Also included are Bruma and Wyrmstooth maps as optional files. Individual maps for holds can be bought by traders and knowledgeable locals from that area, the dialogue option to purchase a map will only be visible if you have the funds available and do not already own the map of that area. Owning a hold map will give you finer details for that area. If you don't own that specific hold map you will instead be shown the world map of Skyrim, or the previous hold map that you own. When you purchase your first hold map you will receive a Map of Skyrim Holds in your inventory.

When a map is purchased, it will be added to your inventory as a "Map of X", this is where we come back to the Map of Skyrim mentioned prior. These maps are all miscellaneous items, and cannot be equipped, they are only available to the player to keep track of which maps are owned, and allow you to sell them. To keep inventory clutter to a minimum, the Map Storage Case is included. S
