A '''Minimap''' is a small map, that shows the player the immediate area around her. It also has graphical representations of important landmarks and geographical features, such as the player's [[stash]], [[waypoint]]s and others.

In the GamesCom 2009 gameplay video, the minimap can be clearly seen in the top right corner, it is much smaller than the one in Diablo 2. It is unknown if it can be edited by some options like the map in Diablo 2, which could be made transparent, opaque, smaller or bigger larger to a certain degree.

The new minimap resides in the top-right corner, and it shows icons for important landmarks. Current speculation says that the chest icon is for the [[stash]], and that the icon near the bottom of the map in the picture provided is a [[waypoint]]. The circular, spiky arrow on the map is the player-character and their current position, including which direction they are facing. The function of the campfire, and thus its icon, is open for speculation as [[Blizzard]] has not released information about it yet. The yellow exclamation mark represents the location of a [[quest]]-giver.<br>Since the outdoor maps are static, this allows the [[Diablo ]] III development team to be a bit more intricate in the minimap designs. The terrain is even featured, as is shown by the lighter crescent-shapes on the minimap, denoting raised terrain. An ornate brown box above the minimap lists the current location of the player-[[character]].
