VG:SOH The InfoMap Project
InfoMap is a UI map mod for the MMORPG Vanguard: Saga of Heroes
that provides high quality maps for use ingame with PoI data
(or "Points of Interest") displayed as markers over the maps.
The advantages of this map mod are:
- Enhanced maps to aid navigation across Telon, including cities, riftways, all continents and Ancient Port Warehouse.
- Various markers for pre-loaded PoI types giving locations for basic services and resource nodes.
- No problems with PoI limits, and can be used together with a CustomPoINames.txt file for your other PoIs.
