Chernarus map, walked
Out now on iOS and Android
The DayZ Chernarus map: towns, water, coordinates, and your own position.
Chernarus is the map most people are lost on. 225 km² of coastline, forest and post-Soviet towns, and the game gives you no way to tell which one you are standing in.
Point a phone or tablet at the screen you play on. Nothing is installed on the console or the PC, and no server mod is needed.

Interactive map
The Chernarus map, with every town, well and hospital.
Drag and zoom the map. Switch layers on and off in the corner. Move the pointer or tap anywhere to read the coordinates. The map is drawn from our own in-game walk of Chernarus, the same map you get in the ZLocator app.
Towns and coordinates
Where the towns on the Chernarus map are.
Chernarus has 194 named places. The 18 largest are listed first, with the distance to the nearest water pump and the nearest hospital or medical centre. Coordinates are metres from the south-west corner of the 15,360 m terrain grid: X grows to the east, Y grows to the north.

Road signs
Reading the Cyrillic road signs on Chernarus.
Town names on Chernarus signs are written in Cyrillic. Most letters map to one Latin letter, and a few look like a Latin letter but are a different one. These are the letters that appear on the Chernarus signs:
Аa
Бb
ВvLooks like B, reads as v
Гg
Дd
Еe
Жzh
Зz
Иi
Йy
Кk
Лl
Мm
НnLooks like H, reads as n
Оo
Пp
РrLooks like P, reads as r
СsLooks like C, reads as s
Тt

The terrain
What the Chernarus map is like to be lost on.
The coast runs east to west along the south
Almost every fresh spawn starts here. A shoreline in frame narrows the match down immediately, which is why the coast is where ZLocator locks on fastest.
The north-west airfield and Tisy sit high and open
Open ground with distinctive structures — strong recognition, and the reason military runs are where players most want a position they can trust.
The centre is forest and hills
Deep forest is the hard case for any visual match. Walk a road, catch a treeline or read a sign and the marker settles.
Cyrillic road signs everywhere
Chernarus signs carry town names and distances. They are read separately from the terrain match, and a legible one can correct a weak fix outright.
How it works
Your phone watches the screen, and the map follows you.
One frame roughly every three seconds is cropped to the area you locked, matched against reference views captured by walking the terrain, and turned into a marker on the map — with the nearest town named and the direction you are facing. How the DayZ map locator works is explained in full on the front page.
Questions
Straight answers.
Is there a Chernarus map in DayZ?
Only a paper tourist map you have to find in-game, and it does not show where you are. ZLocator puts the Chernarus map on your phone with your own position marked on it.
How big is the Chernarus map?
225 km², roughly 15.4 km along each edge. Walking from the south coast to the north-west airfield takes well over an hour.
How do I find out where I am in Chernarus?
Point your phone or tablet at the screen and keep walking. ZLocator matches what the camera sees against reference views captured across the whole map, then names the town you are next to.
Where can I find water on Chernarus?
Our Chernarus map marks 79 water pumps. The most are around Berezino, Karer Krasnaya Zarya, Severograd, Svetloyarsk. The towns table on this page gives the distance from every town to its nearest pump.
How do coordinates work on the Chernarus map?
Positions are given in metres from the south-west corner of the 15,360 m terrain grid. X grows to the east and Y to the north. Move the pointer over the interactive map, or tap it, to read the coordinates of any spot.
What are the biggest towns on Chernarus?
Berezino, Chernaya Polyana, Chernogorsk, Dubovo, Elektrozavodsk, Gorka, Krasnostav, Novaya Petrovka, Novodmitrovsk, Novoselki, Polyana, Severograd, Solnechnyy, Staryy Sobor, Svetloyarsk, Vybor, Vysotovo, Zelenogorsk. Chernarus has 194 named places in total, all listed with coordinates on this page.
