This mod changes camera controls in ingame map view so it becomes possible to zoom in almost to the ground.

I wondered if this was possible! Pretty neat. Its really just a .ini tweak.

Nice mod, but i feel like if i look at it too much it will ruin the fun of exploration

Nice, thanks for sharing

Now we need a new location called Google HQ.

I am trying this NOW!

Wow... this confirms that the map is literally a zoomed out version of the game world. Amazing.

However, I agree this can ruin explorations cus you can just zoom in to see what an area looks like. So I will hold off on this till a later date.

OK I had to edit out a couple of lines to make it work:

[MapMenu]
bWorldMapNoSkyDepthBlur=1
fWorldMapNearDepthBlurScale=0
fWorldMapDepthBlurScale=0
fWorldMapMaximumDepthBlur=0
fMapMenuOverlayNormalStrength=2.2000
fMapMenuOverlayNormalSnowStrength=0.8000
fMapWorldMaxPitch=360.0000
fMapWorldMinPitch=0.0000
fMapWorldYawRange=3600.0000
fMapWorldTransitionHeight=130000.0000
fMapWorldMaxHeight=130000.0000
fMapWorldMinHeight=130.0000
fMapWorldCursorMoveArea=0.9000
fMapWorldHeightAdjustmentForce=100.0000
fMapWorldZoomSpeed=0.0500
fMapLookMouseSpeed=3.0000
fMapMoveKeyboardSpeed=0.0005
fMapZoomMouseSpeed=5.0000
sMapCloudNIF=0


IT WORKS!!!!!

i like it but the zoom is wayyy to slow, can i speed it up? just increase the zoomspeed #? and i find that its kinda messed up when you get in close. cool otherwise

There is one problem. I believe this only works if your located in an area where there is no fog/snow.

I just loaded it at winterhold (lots of snow) and the entire map is a grey blur with a few glimpses of terrain. (unfortunately making the map totally unusable).

A number of others also have this problem (taken from comments on nexus)

Hopefully a fix can be found in the future cause this mod could be amazing..


edit.. commenting out the following makes the grey disappear (however u lose the ability to zoom down on buildngs and also the terrain goes blurry up close)
//fMapWorldTransitionHeight=130000.0000
//uLockedTerrainLOD=0 .
