Your location when creating the map is always the center of the map. Note: You will not be able to craft any items if your backpack already contains the limit of 125 items. To use the Cartography skill to decode treasure maps: If your skill is high enough, you decode the map and learn directions to buried treasure. Once you have decoded a map, only you can dig up the treasure using the Mining skill. You cannot locate treasure with a map decoded by another player. Hint: Cartography can be a handy skill for boat owners. Plot your course using a “sea chart” map, and then give the map to the boat’s tillerman. Say “Start” and your tillerman steers the boat on the course you have plotted.
