The whole earth is divided in little "squares", which have 4 stages ([[quadrants#unplayed_gray|gray]], [[quadrants#blue|blue]], [[quadrants#yellow|yellow]] and [[quadrants#full_green|green]]) and can be explored (see [[mapper|cartographing]]). Further every quadrant is being attached to [[rules:regions|(political) region]].
''Note 1. The quadrant you are currently in (given a GPS fix) is marked on the map with a white square with crossing diagonals. This can be useful to know, if you are close to a border.''

''Note 2. Your quadrant collection can only grow, once a quadrant is full, you cannot gain anything any more in this space. Your quadrants are not visible to other players.''
