A map gives you a graphic representation of all or part of your country.
Your own sectors as well as sea, mountains, wasteland and unowned wilderness and plains show up as a designation mnemonic (see Sector-types). Other sectors appear as question marks (?).
Examples:
[##:##] Command : map -9:18,-8:5
generates a 28 x 14 map based on data supplied by the sectors in the area specified.

[##:##] Command : map # >mapfil
where your realm (or '#', see info realm or info update) is -5:5,-6:6 will type out a 11 by 13 sector map and also put the map in the file called mapfil.
Also, if you give a ship # instead of coordinates or a realm, map will show you a small realm around the given ship (assuming you own it).
If you use nmap, you can get a map that shows new sector designations instead of old sector designations of your own country.
If you use lmap, you can get a map around a land unit, instead. Pmap does the same for a plane. Smap does the same for a ship.
If you give an 's' flag, all your ships will be shown on the map. An 'l' flag does the same for land units, and a 'p' for planes. '*' shows all in this order: land units, ships, planes. To highlight sectors you own, specifiy the 'h' flag.
