Map Information

The map on the Main screen contains the following information:

Name	Icon	Description
Legend Button		Tap/click the LEGEND button on the Main screen to bring up a quick reference guide to all Map Information.
Character Markers		Each character is represented on the map by a marker with the first initial of their name.
Roads/Shortcuts		Displays roads (white) active shortcuts (green), and inactive shortcuts (broken grey) that connect areas of the map. Shortcuts are available about halfway through the game and degrade over time.
Walls		Displays the status of the wall that encloses an area. Playing the Explore activity lowers the wall allowing you to hunt, build shelter, and further explore the area.
Shelter		Displays the location of a usable shelter. Playing the Build activity creates a shelter that characters in one location can share (i.e. only one shelter can be built in an area). Shelters degrade over time, going from blue to white.
Home (Basecamp)		Displays the location of Basecamp where the Soaring Eagle and Carter are located. The star also functions as a shelter status, going from blue to white.
Berries		Displays the location of berry bushes on the island. These locations allow you to play the Gather activity, so you can acquire berries that can feed the character who collects them.
Tombs		Displays the location of tombs on the island. These locations allow you to play the Study activity and collect symbols that will unlock temples.
Temples		Displays the location of temples on the island. Each of these locations allow you to play the Decode activity and recover one of the gold bells (Companas de Oro).
