How To Toggle Minimap - Project Zomboid

The minimap in Project Zomboid offers a simple way to stay aware of your surroundings without opening the full map. It displays nearby buildings, roads, and terrain, making it easier to navigate while scavenging or exploring. You can turn it on or off at any time, depending on whether you prefer more situational awareness or a cleaner HUD for immersion.
