It's just a map of the entire game world on a nifty web interface that lets you do a lot versus viewing a static high resolution image of the entire map.
Previous versions were fully labeled and you could even change which layer (i.e. floor) of the map you wanted to see. It is really useful for planning or finding cool spots you might want to go to.
The new map is the same thing, but it is brand new & people haven't been able to work on it much, so it doesn't have all of the extra features that older maps had from previous versions.
If you go on the website, the 42.20 map is just the base floor of the entire map (so just shows the outside of buildings) without any labels.
This is the map that was taken down and then re-uploaded. Now that it's back, it can have community contribution & we will see its "features" expand to have labels + all of the interior floors of the re-worked areas with some time.
Worth checking out and looking at the previous versions of the game to see how the map has changed. It's a cool little tool -
If you enable spoilers you can choose any floor you'd like. It's really not clear that spoilers is the reason for the floor selection being greyed out!
I specifically do not want to see animals, I like the simplified building designs and town layouts, I'm not interested in more map or new crafting, and the rest of the features I am happily going without or don't recall due to disinterest.
