Livonia map, walked
Android release days away
The DayZ Livonia map, and your own position on it.
Livonia is smaller than Chernarus and far more wooded, which makes it the map where players lose track of themselves fastest. Pine stands look alike for kilometres.

The terrain
What the Livonia map is like to be lost on.
Forest covers most of the map
This is Livonia's whole character, and it is the hardest terrain for a visual match. Keep moving: a road bend, a firebreak or a clearing edge carries far more information than trees do.
No coastline to anchor on
Unlike Chernarus there is no shoreline to narrow things down. Roads, junctions and the river valleys do that job here.
Latin-alphabet road signs
Livonia's signs read cleanly. In deep forest a sign is often the fastest fix available.
The military zones sit in the east
Open ground and distinctive structures — the same places players most want to know their position, and where recognition is strongest.
How it works
Your phone watches the screen, and the map follows you.
One frame roughly every three seconds is cropped to the area you locked, matched against reference views captured by walking the terrain, and turned into a marker on the map — with the nearest town named and the direction you are facing. The full explanation is on the front page.

Questions
Straight answers.
Is there a Livonia map in DayZ?
Not one that shows your position. ZLocator puts the Livonia map on your phone and marks where you are on it.
How big is the Livonia map?
163 km², about 12.8 km per edge — smaller than Chernarus but denser with forest.
Why is it harder to locate yourself in Livonia?
Forest dominates the map and there is no coast to anchor on. One stand of pines looks like the next, so keep walking and let consecutive fixes agree instead of standing still.
