i. There are a few ways to enable maps in Project Zomboid.
*In-Game*
1. Open the *Options* menu.
2. Click on the *Interface* tab.
3. Under the *Map* section, check the box next to **Enable Map**.
4. Click on the *Save* button.
*In the Game Launcher*
1. Open the Project Zomboid game launcher.
2. Click on the *Settings* tab.
3. Under the *Map* section, check the box next to **Enable Map**.
4. Click on the *Start* button.
*With the Map Overlay Mod*
The Map Overlay Mod is a popular mod that adds a map overlay to Project Zomboid. To install the mod, follow these steps:
1. Go to the *Project Zomboid Steam Workshop* page.
2. Search for the **Map Overlay Mod**.
3. Click on the *Subscribe* button.
4. Launch Project Zomboid.
5. The mod will be enabled automatically.
Once you have enabled maps, you can open them by pressing the *M* key. The map will show your current location, as well as the locations of other important objects, such as towns, cities, and points of interest.
You can also use the map to navigate around the game world. To do this, simply click on the location you want to go to. The map will then show you the shortest path to your destination.
Maps can be a very helpful tool in Project Zomboid. They can help you find your way around the game world, find important objects, and avoid dangerous areas. I recommend enabling maps if you are playing Project Zomboid for the first time.
ii. To reset your Project Zomboid map server, you will need to delete the world folder. The world folder is located in the following location:
```
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Project Zomboid\Saves\Multiplayer
```
Once you have deleted the world folder, you will need to restart your server. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Open the server control panel.
2. Click on the *Restart* button.
The server will now restart and create a new world. You can then connect to the server and start playing.
If you are using a dedicated server, you can also reset the map by editing the server configuration file. The server configuration file is located in the following location:
```
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Project Zomboid\Server\server.cfg
```
To reset the map, find the following line in the server configuration file:
```
#WorldName="WorldName"
```
Change the value of the `WorldName` variable to a new name. For example, you could change the value to `NewWorld`.
Once you have changed the value of the `WorldName` variable, you will need to restart the server. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Open the server control panel.
2. Click on the *Restart* button.
The server will now restart and create a new world with the name you specified. You can then connect to the server and start playing.
*Note:* Resetting the map will delete all of the buildings, items, and zombies in the world. If you have any custom buildings, items, or zombies that you want to keep, you should make a backup of the world folder before you reset the map.
