Map2 and Game Map
Hello...I just recently downloaded both Maps 1 and 2 and can't wait to start exploring. I was able to get Map 1 to appear in the game map using a suggestion from the forums for the Morrowind Code Patch at TEX Nexus. Is there any way to get Map 2 to appear in the game map (other that FPS Optimizer 2.0...which I can't get to work). Any suggestions greatly appreciated. Off to explore Map 1. Thanks.

I believe that if you start a new game, map2 will appear. It stretches from about level with Tel Aruhn down to the shrine of Azura.
I think the problem is that the map area has already been stored in your savegame. I'm not sure if there's an easy way to update, but if someone finds out, it would be good to know.

Maps 1 through 6 will complete the entire mainland portion of Morrowind. Maps 1 and 2 complete the north eastern region of Mainland Morrowind.

You'll need to have Map3, Map4 and Map5 to go all around the island (well, except on the North). Map6 is the deep South, below Map3 and Map4.basenji wrote:My mistake. I thought that the Map2 expansion would wrap all the way around the island. I thought I saw a screenshot of that. I guess I was wrong? Thanks for the help!

So this isn't in response to the particular original question, which was already answered. But it does deal with the subject of this topic, so rather than create a new topic, I'd like to ask away here.
First: on Map2, instead of regions coming as a free area, each and every quadrant is marked with a town or location marker on the provincial in-game map.
@Aeven, my borders don't match up well at all. There seems to be a terrible gap where you can see "Wilderness" - that empty expanse of water around Vvardenfell - in a crack between the borders of Map1 and Map2. Furthermore, the roads and landscape textures are quite different, and they're on different planes, so it looks quite unprofessional, as if it shouldn't be in public beta yet. In addition, there seems to be two of just about everything in some places, including two copies of creatures and humanoids, but that's offtopic, so for the purpose of this, I'll return to the map. The area map borders are quite terrible, because as the Map1-2 border is very broken. Of course, the provincial map looks just fine.

That sounds to me suspiciously like you're using version 2.0 of Map1 with version 1.0 of Map2. That's a bad idea. The Map2 download includes an updated copy of Map1.esm adjusted specifically for compatibility with Map2. The independent Map1 doesn't work.
Of course, if you are using the bundled copy of Map1, I call shenanigans on your computer; the file has been meticulously and painstakingly fixed by several different people to correct exactly the issues you mentioned.
EDIT: Are you using a pre-beta file you downloaded through the forums? I just realized that you mentioned map markers, which are definitely NOT in ANY public release of these files. If you'd like the professional copy, download the official release from a community mod site.

There may be multiple copies of Map1 used here; and my younger brother got into pre-beta fro Map2, so he probably has a version of it already checked alongside the bundled.
Checking...
I searched through the Data Files and found TR_Map2v.1.esp checked. Assuming this is a VERY early version of Map2, I don't know why it was checked prior to this point. There is now a correct single set of everything. Also, a problem I was having with introductions of superfluous characters being MAP2 ALT BOSARA GREETINGS instead of the random introduction words was fixed by this notion. However, on the provincial map, the location markers are still there, though no TR_2_Boethian_Mountains region or such is listed, it's just a black and blank box. Any way to clear that from the map?
Thanks
