"Minimum Mapping skill for the Journey Map Kit? CODS"
Is there a minimum mapping skill required to make the journey map kit work?

I've picked up my kit in the chest west of the Sea of Sorrows (near start of game), and despite have given about 3 points (all I could spare) to my Mook Psionic, I click on 'read' and nothing happens (well I get a beep, like I'm doing something wrong...)

You don't need to 'equip' the map kit or anything do you?

In CODS one must "use" the map. Then one gets a look at it, but must put it away before continuing.

Otter has your answer, I just wanted to add that as far as I can remember the only thing that skill helps with is what symbols and terrains are shown on the map for areas that you've covered. With a very low skill I believe that the map doesn't show a difference for road or grass. Probably wrong, but I just wanted to mention it.

As far as I remember, the character that uses the map should have a mapping-skill of 10 so that he is able to draw walls into the map. Without walls (including "Walls of trees") the map is next to useless, in my opinion.

Cheers.
So I must "Use" whilst in adventuring mode, rather than "read" in character review mode?
Makes sense... its all coming back ;)

I think the mapping skill cutoffs are 10, 40 and 70.

10 - Shows walls
40 - Shows doorways
70 - Shows teleporters/stairs
