✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge player base trusts it (29,936 endorsements, 1.3M downloads) — this is a must-have for many.
- Simple concept: a map in the PDA's Beacon Manager tab, no clutter.
- Actively updated (August 2025) so it's likely to work with current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- Description is bare-bones — no details on features like waypoints or zoom, so you're flying blind until you try it.
- Only adds a map to one tab; if you wanted a full PDA overhaul, this isn't it.
For players who want a quick, integrated map in their PDA without extra bloat. If you're tired of alt-tabbing to check a map, this is for you. Skip if you need advanced mapping features like custom markers or real-time tracking.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Check the mod's comments section for any user-reported compatibility issues with your game version.
- If you use a mod manager, install through it to keep track of updates easily.
- After installing, open your PDA and navigate to the Beacon Manager tab to see the map — it should appear automatically.
