Latest version 0.9.8.1. It was created in response to [[Ultima_Online_Auto-Map|UOAM]] however works for both clients. The development was discontinued and a client patch was thought to have broken the map, until Mervyn discovered you can keep the map current for both clients by having the Enhanced Client installed and using those maps. |
