The Sheikah Slate also contains a map of Hyrule. Initially, the map is blank of everything except the outlines of tower regions. Link must visit the Sheikah Towers scattered around Hyrule, activating them and receiving that section of the map. Once he has distilled the map into his Slate, Link can view the features of that area.
The Sheikah Slate also contains a [[map]] of Hyrule. Initially, the map is blank of everything except the outlines of tower regions.

Regions, subregions, and most landmarks are added onto the map automatically. However, some landmarks must be visited before they are added to the map. Additionally, Sheikah Towers and shrines must be activated before they will appear on the map. Once they have been activated, Link may then use the Sheikah Slate to travel to that tower or shrine. Settlements, villages, and [[Stable]]s must also be visited before their locations will be added to the map. Once Link has registered a [[Horse]] at a stable, he may also use the map to track the location of any horse he is traveling with. Additionally, the locations of any discovered [[Korok]]s are marked on the map for reference.

Link also has the ability to set stamps and pins on the map. Stamps are markers visible only when looking at the map. There are nine different designs to choose from, and they can be used to indicate the location of enemies, weapons, cook pots, potential Korok locations, or anything else of note to be remembered. Up to 100 stamps may be placed on the map. Pins function similarly to stamps, but are also visible to Link when he views the landscape through the slate's scope. Pins are ideal for marking travel destinations as they help provide directional guidance for Link without use of the map. Unlike stamps, only five pins are available to use.

With the [[Breath of the Wild Expansion Pass|Expansion Pass]], Hero's Path Mode was added to the map. Turning on this mode shows the path of Link's past travels.
