Use own risk! This mod is harmless and don't affect the a multiplayer game experience but I don't recommend how use online play.
Properties:
1. Remove minimaps rendering.
2. Remove area's visibility in minimap container(mission, restricted zones (?) - this is need confirm).
Warning! Some Path of Hunter quest will maybe too hard without displaying exact mission area... as in real life.![]()
3. Remove Fog of War rendering in worldmap. Don't need unlock any radiotowers how get a worldmap part.
(Reason, how why...) If you unlocked a radiotower just show the territories - about unliberated outposts.
4. Changed minimap container's background to a simple compass, and remove few icons - like treasures, letters, enemies etc...
Its a (one!) simple bitmap editing... nothing is magic. (For anyone who want to change: \ui\supertextures\h_minimap_0.xbt)

How to make?
Just download my little tool - SFK Binary Patcher - and select ALL Compass_mode step and patch your FC3_d3d11.dll or FC3.dll (depend your config).
After need a modded patch.dat/patch. file because the default minimap container use an ugly background:
I made 2 compilation:
[ A ] vanilla 1.04 patch with a modified h_minimap_0.xbt texture for compass view - Donwload link
[ B ] : a mixed compilation with player abilities (need learn) and 2nd Island unlock. - Donwload link
If you choose [ B ] please will be careful, I don't need more time fully tested and please don't post here about bugreports.
So choose one compilation, download and exctact and overwrite patch.dat/patch.fat.
