Source register · Reviewed August 27, 2026

Every published report should lead back to evidence.

This register explains what KordMap consulted, what it used and—just as importantly—what it did not copy.

First-party context

Escape from Tarkov

Product identity and official game context. KordMap is not affiliated with the publisher or developer.

Community reference

KordMap.wiki

Reviewed to understand player-facing location and document-filter terminology. No artwork, screenshots, code or bulk point data was imported.

Community reference

KORD Map MTDV

Reviewed as a second expression of the same search problem. Its interface, assets and location database were not copied.

Editorial report

BLAST — Factory Battle Pass documents

Used as linked evidence for the current Factory area-level preview. KordMap paraphrases the reported areas, keeps the source attached to each report and visually rechecked the broad overlay placement against the article images without republishing them.

License record

Kalle Leskinen / KordMap source license

The reference project is published under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. Its code and compiled location collection are not imported into this independently written site.

License record

The Hideout SVG maps — fixed revision

Base artwork for Customs, Factory, Ground Zero, Interchange, The Lab, Lighthouse, Reserve, Shoreline, Streets of Tarkov and Woods. KordMap hosts revision-pinned contributor-created SVGs under the upstream CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 notice; floor views hide non-selected source layers while retaining companion layers, and KordMap markers remain a separate overlay.

Additional use condition

The Hideout fixed-revision README

Records the upstream anti-cheat prohibition separately from the standard Creative Commons license text. KordMap retains this condition and does not use the assets for an in-game radar, ESP, cheat client or automation tool.

License record

RE3MR map-use notice

RE3MR asks website and application publishers to contact the creator. No RE3MR map image or derivative is included here.

Map-artwork boundary

Ten licensed maps, two original schematics

The ten listed community maps are locally hosted from fixed revision 5a8b6115d. Each map page links to its exact source file and license. Factory floor views hide non-selected floor groups; they do not redraw the artwork.

The Labyrinth and Icebreaker retain KordMap’s original abstract schematics because no compatible website-use permission has been documented for a real map asset.

Current-use restriction

The licensed artwork is non-commercial.

KordMap currently has no ads, paid access, affiliate placement or sponsored map feature. The selected artwork may not remain in a future commercial release without separate permission or replacement artwork. The separate anti-cheat condition in the upstream fixed-revision README also applies.

The upstream license covers only rights its licensors are authorized to grant; KordMap has not independently confirmed a separate license for underlying game-map intellectual property. The map contributors and Battlestate Games do not endorse KordMap. Licensed map artwork is a community drawing, not an in-game screenshot or official game map.

Publishing threshold

What becomes an area report

A report is publishable only when it identifies a useful search area, matches a document category already associated with that location and carries a public source that readers can inspect. Descriptions are rewritten in KordMap’s own words.

If those conditions are not met, the location stays in research status. An empty board is an honest status, not an invitation to invent markers.

Confidence boundary

What a source cannot prove

A third-party guide can support an area-level lead; it cannot guarantee a spawn in your raid or confirm that a later patch left the location unchanged. KordMap therefore avoids labels such as “official,” “live” or “guaranteed.”

When an exact coordinate cannot be independently supported, the map intentionally points to the broader room, building or zone described by the source.

Corrections

Help improve the record without copying somebody else’s work.

First-hand observations, clearer original descriptions and correction evidence are welcome. Do not submit another site’s map image, screenshot collection, source code or exported marker database. The contribution tool creates a JSON file locally so you can inspect exactly what you prepared.
