If you already have UO Automap installed and set up to work with UO Outlands, just unpack on it's folder the most recent background map and marked locations:
- Background map latest version (~4Mb): 2020.05.13b_Automap MAP from Cartographer.rar - https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqtI3rSJQnG_liANscvXkBi5pDW3?e=G8CG86
- Marked locations latest version (for UO Automap, UO Cartographer and CUO built-in world map) (~63Kb): 2020.05.28c_Automap locations for UO Outlands.rar - https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqtI3rSJQnG_liWf8yyEH0KkdjGo?e=Kb2Mo0
Be careful to NOT overwrite your "UOO_Personal.map" to not lose your personal marked locations.
If not, read below.

Ultima Mapper for UO Outlands is indeed an outstanding work, but I decided to map the land in UO Automap for my personal use. Big thanks to Swunk for giving me the first three files to start.
If anyone else want to use it, here it is:
Installation:
- Download UO Automap v.9.0.0.0 Beta from https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqtI3rSJQnG_lW3HyaPBn3HTUEq8?e=ZUUYBL
- Unpack and launch UOAMv9_Install.exe to install UO Automap on a folder of your choice where you have full rights.
- Start UO Automap from UOAM (Single Client): uoam_locked.exe. This one works with UOSteam and the new Classic UO. To have it track your character in CUO you need to open first UO Steam and launch the old UO (it doesn't matter if you login or not), then on top of it CUO and last one UO Automap Single Client (uoam_locked.exe).
(if anyone needs an older version, here it is UO Automap v.8.3.0.0 and pre-extracted maps of Sosaria: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AqtI3rSJQnG_kkuXZfE08OZ1N9M8 )
- To activate UO Outlands map, launch UO Automap, go to menu - Map > UO client data files location - uncheck "Have UOAM locate client data file for you" and write the path to where you have UO Outlands installed. (example: C:\Games\Ultima Online OUTLANDS\). Now you should see UO Outlands map.
When a message appears saying that map file has changed and UO Auto-Map's data files should be rebuilt, set the performance settings for all maps on SLOWER. This way the map will be loaded from UO Outlands files directly. The only exception should be Felucca Map on Normal view (read below).
- To install the new background map with elevations that will solve all errors with default map, go to UO Automap menu Map > Felucca Map Performance Settings and for "Normal View" set the slider to FASTER:
Hit OK and the building process will start:
After some time, 4 BMP files will be created on UO Automap folder:
MAP0-1.BMP
MAP0-2.BMP
MAP0-4.BMP
MAP0-8.BMP
- Close UO Automap.
- At this point download the updated background map from the top of this post and unpack the files from the RAR archive to UO Automap folder, overwriting the 4 BMP's.
- Start UO Automap again and you should see the enhanced UO Outlands map created with UO Cartographer.
If, for whatever reason you want the older "flat" version, just change back "Felucca Map Performance Settings" pulling the slider all the way to slower. The BMP's will be deleted.
- The last step are the markers: download the latest version of UO Outlands marked locations from the top of this post and unpack the zip to your UO Automap folder.
- To activate them, go to - Map > Additional Settings > Files tab - and check all UOO files except UOO_Mobs.map.
UO Automap should now be set up correctly.

Files description:
Right now the contents of the UOO .map files is a bit mixed up because cleaning them require a LOT of effort, but they should be like described below:
UOO_Atlas.map = Marked locations over land and sea (landmarks, caravans, points of interest, body of water, town names, dungeon names, moongates, shrines, houseboats places, scenic on land).
UOO_Common.map = Marked locations inside towns and other NPC locations over land (shops on town and land including healers, farmers, cobblers, etc., scenic places on towns, others, bridges and gates).
UOO_Dungeons.map = Marked locations in dungeons (dungeon entrances, gates in dungeons, stairs, gates to towns and all other marked locations in dungeons).
UOO_Houses.map = Classic houses over land (no longer accurate as many small houses were taken down to build large/custom ones. This file wasn't that useful in the first place since UO Automap can only show the old UO houses, not Outlands custom ones. You may want to disable this file, but I will keep including it for reference).
UOO_Mobs.map = Monsters on UO Outlands imported from Ultima Mapper (wasn't updated for almost an year now. Most likely some of the monsters changed).
UOO_Personal.map = Note here important places for you (Empty file. Each player should note here places relevant to himself. Make backup to not lose it by mistake at the next update).
UOO_Treasure.map = Treasure chests locations in dungeons.
UOO_Vendors.map = Several of the vendor houses on Outlands with last checked date. Not intended to be up to date or comprehensive.

Classic UO (CUO) support:
UO Automap works now with Classic UO (CUO) client, besides the 2D client started with UO Steam or Razor. This require to open first one instance of the 2D client, then CUO, then UO Automap in this order. For details look at this post: http://forums.uooutlands.com/index.php?threads/uo-automap-for-uo-outlands.1378/post-12321

Classic UO (CUO) built-in World Map support:
UO Automap markers work now with the world map provided by the CUO client . To activate them unpack the following files from the RAR archive (marked locations latest version from the top of this post) on \ClassicUO\Data\Client\ folder (Example: c:\Program Files\OUTLANDS Ultima Online\ClassicUO\Data\Client\).
UOO_Atlas.map
UOO_Common.map
UOO_Dungeons.map
UOO_Treasure.map
UOO_Vendors.map
Houses and mobs are not useful and will only clutter the map too much. UOO_Personal.map is good to add from your personalized UO Automap, if you added on that file your personal locations. UOO_Vendors.map is also optional because many vendors were changed and this file is not up to date.

Usage:
Here is a short explanation of how to use it more effective:
- Zoom + / - : mouse wheel.
- Pan the map: arrow keys = large pan steps, CTRL + arrow keys = small pan steps. To go to a location: right-click > move cursor here.
- To have UO Automap border-less and always on top: double click on it.
- To set a destination: right-click the desired destination location and "Drop or pickup marker". It will show you in which direction is the destination. To remove it right-click again the same option.
- Show labels: CTRL+S
- Hide labels: CTRL+H
- To see inside the caves and underground activate from menu Map > X-Ray View
- To hide/show categories: CTRL+F
- To locate to nearest desired point of a category from your location: CTRL+F > right-click category > Drop marker on nearest. (for example, to locate the nearest healer to your location hit CTRL+F, press h to jump to h letter locations, right-click healer on the list and hit "Drop marker on nearest"). Same with Places tab.

I am not sure for how long I will keep doing this, but I plan to update UO Automap locations for UO Outlands from time to time, hoping to expand little by little the known places and the accuracy of the map.
