🧭 Drop In a Complete Map System — Minimap, Compass & World Map, All in Sync

Stop pointing a second camera at your scene and calling it a minimap.

Stop stitching three different assets together for minimap, compass, and world map.

MapGUIPro is a complete runtime map navigation suite — minimap HUD, compass, fullscreen world map, POIs, player markers, live entity tracking, and fog of war — themeable end to end, and it ships in minutes.

🧩 Three Map Displays, One System 🧩

Minimap HUD — 7 frame shapes, North-Up or Camera-Relative rotation, zoom and mouse pan with auto return-to-player, live player coordinates, and edge indicators that clamp distant markers to the rim. Orbit buttons dock custom actions around the frame — 7 shapes, tooltips, even add/remove from code at runtime.

Compass — cardinal markers, degree ticks, needle, and POIs projected along a configurable FOV cone with distance labels. The sub-data panel pipes date/time, zone name, or any custom text right under the bar.

Fullscreen Map — windowed or true fullscreen, inertial pan, touch pinch zoom, interactive POIs with hover tooltips, a per-category legend, a coordinate grid with axis headers (A1, B2…), and a World ▸ Zone breadcrumb.

Place a marker on the world map — it appears on the minimap and the compass instantly. One data set, three displays, zero sync code.

🎨 6 Complete Visual Themes 🎨

Beautiful results out of the box — one click reskins all three displays at once. Every preset is a ScriptableObject you can duplicate and customize.

DarkBronze — riveted medieval bronze for fantasy worlds.

FieldAtlas — modern military steel & cyan, with the data-rich sub-data bar.

GoldenDark — premium fantasy gold.

GoldenDarkFull — ornate full-chrome gold for high-fantasy UIs.

Minimal — clean, flat, desaturated.

SurvivalTopo — mil-sim olive with tactical grid.

All chrome is drawn procedurally as vectors — recolor everything from a role-based palette, no sprite editing required.

🚀 Why MapGUIPro? 🚀

One Suite, Not Five Assets — The market is split into silos: a minimap here, a compass there, a map screen somewhere else. MapGUIPro unifies all three in one coherent, consistently themed system.

100% UI Toolkit — UXML + USS + procedural vector rendering. Crisp at any resolution, render-pipeline-agnostic, future-proof. Rare on the Asset Store, where most map assets still ship legacy sprite-based uGUI.

No Second Camera — maps are textures (hand-made, baked, or generated by Cartograph), projected and styled in UI. No render-texture camera silently eating frame time every update.

Design in the Editor, Not in Play Mode — the Designer window previews everything live: one-click re-theming, camera yaw simulation, HUD placement on a simulated 1920×1080 screen, 16:9 / 4:3 / 1:1 / 21:9 aspect checks, and a per-element color inspector.

Event-Driven & Data-Driven — 12 decoupled event buses, every feature configured through ScriptableObjects, and a code generator that writes typed event hubs for your custom buttons.

Performance That Scales — Burst-accelerated fog reveal and entity projection (managed fallbacks included), pooled icons, push-based updates instead of per-frame polling.

Cartograph Synergy (optional) — with Cartograph installed, map textures load straight from its registry, maps auto-swap on zone entry, and interiors get multi-floor plans with a floor switcher. Fully standalone otherwise — zero dependency.

✨ Gameplay Features Players Feel ✨

A full gameplay layer ships on top of the UI:

• POI System — typed categories (icon, color, legend visibility) with discovery by radius, trigger, or API — undiscovered POIs show as mystery “?” markers until found.
• Dynamic POI States — flip any POI between custom states at runtime (Open / Closed / Out of stock…) with badges and custom tooltip fields.
• User Markers — players right-click to place, rename, drag, and delete their own markers, with the icon sets and palettes you define. Marker limits, JSON persistence, per-map scoping.
• Entity Tracking — track the player, NPCs, allies, enemies, or vehicles via a drop-in component or interface; filter by category, cull off-map entities, list them in the legend.
• Fog of War — radius reveal around the player or authored region/polygon reveals, edge softness, per-zone persistence, on the fullscreen map and the minimap (experimental — API may evolve before v1.1).
• Regions & Zones — draw regions with polygon / circle / rect tools or auto-generate them via flood fill; banners update live as players cross borders, and zones carry their own maps and fog state.
• Map Transitions — smooth animated transitions when switching maps, zones, or floors.

🎮 Made for All Genres 🎮

• RPG / Adventure — golden parchment themes, POI discovery, named player markers.
• Dungeon Crawler — interior floor plans with multi-floor switching (with Cartograph).
• Survival / Open-World — fog of war, entity tracking, SurvivalTopo tactical grid.
• Strategy / 4X — grid overlay with axis headers, zone maps, category legends.
• Sci-Fi / Modern — FieldAtlas steel-and-cyan HUD or the clean Minimal theme.
• Horror / Dark — dark chrome and fog-heavy slow reveals.
• Mobile / Casual — touch pinch zoom and lightweight vector UI.
