Map Cartography

Auto-map cartography

Each screen is a 16×16 auto-map render using map.dat page 0 (visual tiles) and the cartography rules from Cartography.h / asm @0x2182. Outdoor/surface screens use outb.32; interiors use townb.32.

North is at the top (disk row 15); row 0 on disk is south — same as MM2ED and the in-game Location spell map. Raw bytes: map.dat grids
