See every portal on the map you're on, follow your route to a Hunting Target portal by portal, and search the whole world from the first launch.

MapleCompass isn't made, endorsed or supported by NEXON. Using any third-party tool with MapleStory is at your own risk.

Changes

  • A picture of the whole map. The Hidden Portals section is now Map, with a picture of the map you're on and every portal ringed where it is:

    • blue to another map;
    • green, with a dashed arrow to where it lands, for a teleport within the map;
    • grey to a map MapleCompass doesn't know.

    Hidden Portals and Quest Portals are dashed. Rest the pointer on a ring to see where it leads, or on a Hidden Portal's row to light its ring. This replaces the rough positions like "far right, lower".

  • Navigation. Your Hunting Target has its own section, between Map and Mobs, while you have one: the mob, moving, beside its name, then the route and "You're here" when you arrive. On the map, the next portal on your route wears a magenta ring. It collapses like the other sections, and stays collapsed if you leave it so.

  • The whole world from the first launch. Map and mob data now come from OSMS Data Explorer: the whole game in one small download. Mob search and Distance know every map at once, so "Mapping the world" is gone.

    • It works offline after the first launch, and refreshes once a day.
    • The data follows the game as it is now, so Orbis, El Nath and Forgotten Hollow aren't in it while they're closed.
  • Mob Cards at once, and moving. A listed mob's card is ready as soon as the map shows, with the mob animated. The line about how it moves is gone.

  • A tidier panel.

    • The credit is now a small info icon at the bottom; rest the pointer on it to read it.
    • "Not sure" says why when you rest the pointer on it, instead of a note under the title.
    • The Map section disappears when it has nothing to show.
  • About & Credits in Help & Setup credits the data, the recognition model and the typeface.

  • Fixed: the panel could flicker after you resized it narrow.

  • Links still open NiaMeowDB's pages: a mob's name, the map's title (Ctrl+Shift+M) and Item Lookup.

MapleCompass's source is now public on GitHub. Your settings, hotkeys and Personal Bests carry over from 0.6.0. The first launch downloads the map data, under 1 MB, so it needs a connection once.

Download (Windows 10/11, 64-bit)

File What it is
MapleCompass_0.7.0_x64-setup.exe Installer (recommended). Installs for your user over earlier versions, with a Start menu entry and an uninstaller.
MapleCompass_0.7.0_x64_en-US.msi The same, as an MSI package (installs for all users, so it asks for admin rights).
maplecompass-0.7.0-portable.exe No install: run it from any folder. Needs the Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime, which Windows 11 already has.

Quit the running MapleCompass first (its compass in the notification area: Quit MapleCompass). The files aren't code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may say it "protected your PC": choose More info, then Run anyway.

Map and mob data, map pictures and mob animations: OSMS Data Explorer. Pages: NiaMeowDB. Title and item recognition: ocrs (model under CC BY-SA 4.0). Typeface: Maplestory by NEXON. See THIRD-PARTY-NOTICES.md, attached, and About & Credits in Help & Setup.
