| [[File:AC1 Map Screen.png|thumb|250px|A map of Acre displayed by the Animus 1.28]]'''Maps''' were devices used in order to help the members of the [[Assassins|Assassin Order]] navigate around the cities, and plan assassinations or [[investigation]]s. They acted as a compromise and visualization of Altaïr's, Ezio's, Haytham's, and Ratonhnhaké:ton's memories of the cities layouts, as well as giving a sense of direction for [[Desmond Miles]] within the [[Animus]]. More areas appeared on the Animus map after every successful climb and synchronization with a [[View Points|view-point]]. These virtual maps also marked certain key areas that could be recognized by a unique symbol.

| While viewing the memories of [[Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad]] in the Animus 1.28, the symbols indicated the [[Assassins' Bureau|Assassin's Bureau]], investigation missions ([[Eavesdropping|eavesdropping]], [[Interrogation|interrogation]], [[Pickpocketing|pick-pocketing]] and [[Informants|Assassin informants]]), exits to the [[Kingdom]], and the locations of [[Civilians|citizens]] that could be saved, or had been saved, from soldiers. Additionally, it displayed the icon for Altaïr's assassination targets upon being granted the assassination by the city's bureau leader.<ref name="Assassin's Creed">''[[Assassin's Creed]]''</ref>

| While viewing the memories of [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze]] in the Animus 2.0, symbols were displayed to mark key memories, side memories (such as races or courier assignments), shops ([[Art Merchants|art merchants]], [[Doctors]], [[Blacksmiths|blacksmiths]], [[Tailors|tailors]], and Travel Stations), [[Treasure chests|treasure chests]] and [[Assassin's Tombs|Assassins' tombs]]. The mini-map's frame color also indicated his [[Social Stealth|social status]].<ref name="Assassin's Creed II">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref>

| In [[Rome]], along with the previous symbols, several new ones had been added. These included unique icons for the four guilds ([[Assassins Guilds|Assassins Guild]], [[Courtesans|Courtesans Guild]], [[Mercenaries|Mercenaries Guild]] and [[Thieves|Thieves Guild]]), the [[Borgia Towers|Borgia towers]], and Cristina repressed memories. Additionally, there was an option to change the view of the map to show the division of districts, the percentage of completion in each district, and the completion percentage of having freed Rome itself from the [[House of Borgia|Borgia]] grasp.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref> In the Animus 2.03, the appearance of the map was similar to the map of Animus 1.28 and 2.0 with the same icons just like the previous Animus 2.0 with some minor differences.<ref name="Assassin's Creed: Revelations">''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]''</ref>

| While viewing the memories of [[Haytham Kenway]] and [[Ratonhnhaké:ton]] during the [[American Revolutionary War]] , Desmond could still use view-points to fill his map, but walking through the city could reveal locations as well. The higher the viewpoint the ancestor was, more information would be revealed around them.
| |
| The Animus 3.0's map system was revamped to enable fast travel to any designated point, such as [[Tunnels|tunnel entrances]], ports or captured [[forts]]. The map also logged any tasks or [[Club Challenges|challenges]] Desmond had not completed.

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *In [[Assassin's Creed: Revelations|Revelations]] , the compass directions have been rotated approximately 90º, with the Masyaf castle now in the East, rather than the North, as it was in [[Assassin's Creed]] .
