Sakhal map, walked
Out now on iOS and Android
The DayZ Sakhal map: towns, water, coordinates, and your own position.
Sakhal is the volcanic island map: snow, black rock and water on every side. The smallest official terrain, and the one where a wrong guess costs the most, because the cold does not wait.
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.

The terrain
What the Sakhal map is like to be lost on.
Snow flattens the landmarks
Snow cover removes much of the colour and texture a match relies on. Ridge lines and the shape of the coast carry the recognition here instead.
Water on every side
Sakhal is an island group, so a shoreline is almost always within reach — and shoreline is the single strongest thing you can put in frame.
The volcano is the one unmistakable landmark
Visible from much of the map and recognised on sight.
Knowing the nearest settlement is not a convenience
On Sakhal it is the difference between warming up and freezing. The nearest-places list is the part of the app that matters most here.
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 Sakhal map in DayZ?
Not one that shows your position. ZLocator puts the Sakhal map on your phone with your own marker on it.
How big is the Sakhal map?
80 km², the smallest of the three official terrains — but broken into islands, so distances on foot are longer than they look.
Does snow stop the recognition working?
No, but it changes what works. Snow removes texture, so ridge lines, the coast and the volcano do the work. Daylight is still required.
Where can I find water on Sakhal?
Our Sakhal map marks 33 water pumps. The most are around Goryachevo, Sakhalskaya GeoES, Pik Volchiy, Yasnaya Polyana. The towns table on this page gives the distance from every town to its nearest pump.
How do coordinates work on the Sakhal 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 Sakhal?
Aniva, Burukan, Nogovo, Petropavlovsk-Sakhalskiy, Rudnogorsk, Severomorsk. Sakhal has 60 named places in total, all listed with coordinates on this page.
