*Survivors are shown on the minimap. Not all survivors are shown- only the 5 least active survivor names are shown, and the presence of an (unknown) number of other survivors is indicated by the ellipses (…) following those 5 names. The background color of the name indicates their class; light green for military, pink for civilian, and pale blue for scientist. There are no scientists shown in this picture, although quite likely the survivors shown have science skills. Clicking on a survivor's name on the minimap will open their profile page. | *Survivors are shown on the minimap.

The minimap is part of the Urban Dead user interface. It shows a 3 x 3 grid of locations centered on your location. If you are at the edge of the game map, out-of-bounds area are not shown. The minimap is emulated on location pages using the {{Locationblock}}. Most other also emulate the mini-map, in that any 3x3 section of the map looks as it would on your game screen.
What you Can See
In addition to the locations themselves, you can see building conditions and some or all of the survivors and zombies who are present in the location shown by the mini map. Below is a series of examples that show some Minimaps and explain what is seen.
