Noticed while playing that the locations drawn on the map, while cool, are inaccurate to their in-game locations. Such as Faregyle Inn and Pell's Gate. They are drawings on this map that are depicted to be south of the Imperial City, on the Red Road.
However, the actual in-game location and fast travel icon of Pells Gate is directly on top of where Faregyle Inn is depicted to be in the map's artwork. And, the actual in-game location of Faregyle Inn is NOT on top of the map's drawn depiction of where Pells Gate should be due west, but is nearly on top of where the map drawing depicts the Inn of Ill Omen should be. And the Inn of Ill Omen is in a different spot a ways off from that.
In terms of having a map that lets you know there are inns and interesting locations nearby to find, this mod looks cool. I downloaded it for that reason, but the locations will not be even remotely close to where they are depicted in the artwork. So you will have to go on a wild goose chase to find them if you go off the map artwork.
I attempted to upload an image of what I described above, but it hasn't been approved by the Mod Developer yet.
Best and most readable map I've seen, so far, just based on the screenshot. Those other map mods are pretty but not very legible - the text clarity isn't good on them, imho...
+1 The resolution is still low. This is remarkable work though. Thank you. If updated to better match the original high-resolution map from Noctua, it'd be perfect.
name your 7z as "Alternate Cyrodiil Map", it's easier to find in the Downloads folder and to search for updates.
Also, you could add a Alternate Cyrodiil Map folder after ~mods, so we can take the folder out of the zipped file. It's better organize ~mods with other folders.
The original is pretty high in resolution: 5956*6915px The one ingame is more blurry https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F86h28c8d3oab1.jpg
Pretty cool-looking, but it's not terribly accurate. For example, standing just south-east of "Weather Leah" and looking straight at it, on the map it shows that it's actually behind me.

anyway.. AWESOME ARTWORK!
Hopefully there is a way to sharpen it up, because it's the best looking map on offer right now!
