= Summary =
===========
The idea for this mod came about after I found myself with a bounty in Solitude. I wasn't sure where the borders of Haafingar were exactly and I became tired of looking at my map and having to compare it with the map I have hanging on my wall. So I decided it couldn't be too hard to edit the map's files and put the Hold's borders over it.

The result of this idea is a collaboration between myself and IcePenguin, the creator of A Quality Road Map - With Roads,
offer users this option while keeping the details of his map. We worked hard to find (what we believe is) the best way to display the Hold borders in every environment, be it over the grassy plains of Whiterun, the snow of Winterhold, or even at night (which proved to be the biggest challenge of all).

============================
= Additional Tweaks (Optional) =
============================
These tweaks to the Skyrim.ini (usually located at Documents\My Games\Skyrim) produce what I believe is the best experience for viewing the maps. Of course, there are many more. Add these tweaks under the [MapMenu] category (or add it if it doesn't exist).

uLockedObjectMapLOD=8
Loads some objects in the map such as waterfalls)

sMapCloudNIF=0
Removes clouds from map and makes it easier to see the borders

fMapWorldYawRange=3600.0000
Allows for 360-degree camera rotation

If you are using "fMapWorldTransitionHeight " tweak, the maps will not work. Please remove this line along with "uLockedTerrainLOD" prior to installing this mod.

= Known Issues =

It can be possible to see the borders in the distance. Unfortunately, this can't be fixed yet until we can make the map use a separate LOD.
