I've created a map on the wikia for everybody to use. I've also mucked up on the name (it's Village Locations instead of World Map), so please don't pay too much heed to it.

Link

I've already set the locations for some categories such as major and minor villages, and have created categories for events.

Presently there are categories for:

• Major Villages
• Minor Villages
• Sacred Places

(Summoning Homelands, such as Mount Toads)

• Tournaments
• Festivals

Anybody logged into the wikia can edit it, so please don't vandalize it. 
Additionally, anybody can create their own categories. I do ask though that you do not create categories exclusively for your own usage, but rather ones that everybody can use.

If you have any ideas for further categories, do please share them!

Note: Other maps can be created on the wiki too. (Link)

Wish it showed a bit more land; but good start.

It was the map with the highest resolution I had already uploaded to the wiki, but if I can find a nice, larger map I'll try to move everything to that instead. Because though there aren't any locations clustered up that don't share the same plot, I don't think it's an absolute necessity at this point to use a larger image.

I've almost forgotten to mention, but other maps can be created on the wiki too. For instance, the layout of a village or a building.

No I agree, it's good, and detailed.

I do like this new feature.

Wish we could zoom in more. But I guess that's left up to those who would want to make a larger map of their own land or village on their own page. But I would like to suggest the option for a "Who's Here?" section for pins, so that people may be able to pin on where they are in RP. Though now that I think about it, this could easily be abused if there aren't any history logs view-able.

[Yūmei]

One of the reasons I'm pretty skeptical about having a larger world map to accommodate individual character locations is that people may simply either become too lazy, or forget to update their present location and confuse everybody who uses the map to locate them. While this may be more useful to tracking where roaming tailed beasts and hosts are, they're rarely in the same place for too long, and hence if their location isn't kept updated consistently then there'd be a fair amount of distress.

At the very list you can filter out pins, so while the map may (eventually) be congested with pins for different categories, filtering which ones appear should be a decent workaround.

I haven't fully tested it out yet, but if you have an image larger than 60*60 pixels, you can replace the default marker for a certain category. I need to do more research on this.

Yeah, I know reviving an old thread. But I think everyone should start using this, it's really a neat feature. I just made a map for Otogakure, and encourage all the other villages to do the same.

I just simply uploaded the pic of Otogakure, Added two pin categories, put a custom pic for one pin, and used the default blue marker for the others. Took about 10 minutes, hardest part was getting someone to get a pic of just Oto.
