NOTES significant part of this mod is features from my older mods. new things are the same as for combat log - smaller clean rescale (should give more options comparing to Smaller Map addon), ability to drag the widget and auto-hide (works similar to another auto-hider, but with a 2-3s delay before fadeout starts).
I've also got a few minimap requests from people with sight issues, so there is also 120% version with bigger text fonts. if that is not enough, try to move minimap to the right lower corner, that should help a bit too.
Link to "immersive" version (AutoHide is on by default) is on official mod.io page.
CHANGE LOG 1.01 - forwarded Patch #3 changes to clear map files. 1.01 - added Transparent Shroud, Grid On version on request. 1.10 - updated for Patch #4. 1.11 - updated for patch #5. forwarded new locations system, but for some reason NPC custom icons stopped working in patch #5. will investigate after updating all mods. 1.15 - restored missing icons and sanity lost after patch #5. added colorblind support for icons (not sure I picked proper colors tho, colorblind people, please, report if colors are wrong for you). 1.16 - updated for HF #16 (journalmap.xaml). 1.18 - controllers are fully supported now, including scaled minimap (AH versions have AH KB/M minimap but default pads minimap). for all versions minimap sits tighter in the top right corner and has normalized text for in all versions. 120% low vision version has increased text and bigger red north pointer. 1.19 - forwarded patch #6 changes. 1.2 - updated for HF #21 (fixed clipped waypoints texts). 1.21 - minor rework of journal map, main idea was to make widget more about the map, less about decor and supplementary panels: 1) "Legend" panel is hidden by default now and will popup when you mouse over it (like in auto-hide versions). plus minor formatting changes, like trimming long localization names and making it more compact. 2) Waypoints panel occupies less space now and have better visible waypoints name. 3) In addition to the banner of subregion that show up occasionally, there is one more now - with region name. 1.22 - fixed (removed) Region banner (shows only the whole list of available regions instead of region for current character, unfortunately). organized waypoints in a way similar to context menu (Region/Subregion indentation/coloring plus an arrow for highlighted waypoint). fixed teleport unavailability warning position. 1.2.7 - updated for Patch 7. icons will requires of standalone mod installation (Better Map Icons), technical reasons related to making mods official. 120% version of minimap and Grid On version of Clear Map won't be supported. Requires ImpUI now. 1.2.8 - fixed 70% version, controllers UI map was misaligned. 1.2.4 (clear maps) - fixes tooltips affected by Theme dict file shared between map and tooltips. 1.2.7 (better map) - added accessibility version (120% scale, red north marker, bigger fonts). 1.3.3 - updated for patch 8, default scale version of better map replaces with 0.85 with autohide on by default.
There is a version of ImpUI that has been released that essentially does nothing but allow for mods that require ImpUI to proceed. I have just tested this with a fresh install - my computer was wiped completely, brand new install of Patch 8, script extender, NSFW basket, a few head and hair mods, the ImpUI slim mod just for other mod requirements, this author's hotbar mod, and the 85% AH On version of this mod. They're all working just fine.
nice it got updated.. but there was some weirdness so I got rid of all of the Better maps.. the previous and the updated (showed both after I tried to update) completely.. yet in game under installed still seeing better map! Is that just a remnant, should I install the new one fresh anyway, appreciate the help. BRIGHT SIDE Larian gets we want a finished product so this should be last update!
I noticed once I imported the ''Default Scale'' version it actually says on the name of the mod it's the 0.85 AutoHide Version (with a matching name on its .pak file) and the description of the file on mod page says that even though the name of the NexusMods file doesn't. At the same time, I tried downloading the 0.85 Version, and when I imported it it's called instead just ''Better Map'' (with a matching name on its .pak file) so I think it's actually the Default version? Did you get the names mixed perhaps?
looks like Nexus haven't updated changed name for 'AH on' version, should be fixed after delay (5-10 mins). default was indeed replaced with 0.85 with autohide on.

JumpI am asking because, if one wanted a "100% size", it's not the same as wanting "85% size with auto hide on"... 🙄
