- Were you looking for maps of places in the World of Warcraft or melee attack power?
In World of Warcraft, the term map usually refers to the World map, accessible from a map button (
) on the minimap in the very top right corner (or using the default key shortcut: "M").
Sometimes people use this term when referring to the minimap.

UI mods[]
Atlas is a UI mod that grants access to maps that would normally not be available in-game. The package includes maps for all the instances, flight path maps and more. Be wary that those maps are NOT interactive (i.e. you cannot see your current position nor your teammates).
Yatlas is a UI mod that allows the user to view the entire minimap of both continents. Features include panning, zooming, player tracking and functionality with CT_MapMod mapnotes.
Cartographer is a UI mod that can display unexplored areas (with the option of shading) and zone information (levels, instances). Other features include coordinates, battleground maps, instance maps with boss locations noted, the ability to save map notes and waypoints, and resizing the map.
