In this video we will see in three steps how to setup the minimap
Step1 How to generatea texture of your map so we can use it with the minimap, of course if you already made one yourself you can use yours.

Step2 Create the widget which will host the minimap component then customize the minimap and finally add the the widget to the viewport.

Step3 Add something to the minimap to track, in this example we added some characters with a quest icon in the minimap.

You can do so much more with this minimap, please visit the blog post for a detailed guide of all the features that you can use

This is some of the features you can use:
Click on the minimap and get the world location (useful to spawn something or add a marker in the minimap)

Change the color and size of anything you add dynamically which means you can at any time in game change the color for example of a flag if you captured/Lost it (like in battlefiled)

Change the minimap style in game like circular/Rectangular or add/remove border, change border size etc

The height indicator feature allows you to tell if something is below or above you by displaying an arrow that points up or down in the minimap.

and a lot more.
