Mudlet's mapper is split into two parts for the best compatibility on all MUDs - the display and functions in Mudlet, and a per-MUD Lua script that tracks where you are, allows mapping and provides aliases for using the mapper.
Pre-made mapping scripts are available from Mudlet forums. For more information on mapping scripts, see Mapping_script.

General Mudlet Mapper tips
- Don't move the room you're currently in, you'll go haywire
- The number when spreading/shrinking room selections it the multiplication factor - 2 is a good number to try
- Mergins areas - see [this howto by heiko].
Placing the mapper into a corner
Here's a snippet you can use to place the mapper window into a corner and have it automatically come up whenever you open Mudlet. To use this, create a new script and copy/paste the code into it.
<lua> local main = Geyser.Container:new({x=0,y=0,width="100%",height="100%",name="mapper container"})
local mapper = Geyser.Mapper:new({
name = "mapper", x = "70%", y = 0, -- edit here if you want to move it width = "30%", height = "50%"
}, main) </lua>
