New Version of Ultima Mapper Coming

Back in March, the first officially approved UO 3rd party that we had seen in quite some time, Ultima Mapper, was released. Not long after that, the developed mentioned that he was working on a major update, including higher resolution maps. Lately, the updates being discussed include proper UO map rotation, and a unique feature – being able to share one-time markers with friends, such as EM events.

Among the existing features – coordinate/facet tracking, connected user health status, marks where you died automatically, and it allows you follow friends.

That update is nearly here, and along with it comes the map rotation that UO players are used to. Just to give you an idea of how it’s progressed over the past several months, since March, here are some screenshots to illustrate the progression.
