Welcome to the EQ Map Viewer home page

A new cartography mapping tool was introduced with the new Everquest:Legacy of Ykesha(tm) extension in March'03. This tool allowed players to view, edit and create maps of most zones in the Everquest world. The EQ Map Viewer program is an open source project that allow players to be able to view (and eventually edit) the cartography tool maps outside of the game.
