Map (General command)
The map command allows anyone who is currently in the wilderness to
check their maps and figure out their current location in the world. As
analyzing the surrounding terrain and checking it with the map takes time
and effort, this command costs endurance to use and can only be used every
few seconds. The efficacy of this command is determined by your
wilderness skill; the higher it is, the bigger the map you will see --
however, new players do not need to worry; even with 0 wilderness, consulting
the map can be very useful in finding your way around. The displayed map
size can also be affected by certain items that help in exploring, such
spyglasses.

If your "extended colors" are turned on, your current location will be
marked with a red background. Otherwise, it will be the red ! in the
middle.
| Note: |
Only the largest "points of interest" will be marked on your map.
These are typically towns, camps and farms of significant size,
or notable landmarks. To find the smaller ones (which usually
contain greater rewards!) you will have to explore on your own.
