Interactive Maps


 * In 2021, we released an Interactive Maps alpha to 20 communities.

 * After a pause for the last few months of the year, development has once again kicked off on Interactive Maps.
 * It will become available to all communities who want it within the next few months.
 * Check out this example on Avatar Wiki.
