Syntax:
survey on/off/direction
Survey allows you to have an overhead view of the terrain surrounding your character. When turned on, survey will automatically show you an updated map as you move about in the wilderness. You can disable these surveys by typing survey off. This command only works in the wilderness.
When using no graphics mode a direction can be added to the survey command:
survey n
This will show only the survey for the specified direction.
Note: Forests, hills, and mountains pose barriers to normal vision, preventing you from seeing past them.
