==Map Overlay==
[[Image:overlay.jpg|frame|thumb|The map overlay in D3, as seen in the [[Gamescom]] 09 [[demo]].]] In addition to the minimap, there is also an overlay in Diablo III but it appears to have changed in function from Diablo II.
It is presumed that the overlay map is accessed by clicking the scroll icon in the bar above the minimap.<br>
The overlay is transparent, but it is also framed on each side with bars of either black or stained glass. The map can be dragged around in order to see the ground you've already covered, similarly to how the arrow keys worked for the overlay map in Diablo II. It does not appear that the character can be moved nor [[skills]] or [[spells]] casted while the overlay map is up.<br> The overlay map itself appears to be able to show the player roughly ten to fifteen screens worth of space at a time, where the minimap shows only a few screens worth of space.<br><br>
