WIM

In a World in Miniature, or WIM, the user is presented with a miniature version of the entire virtual world, in the form of an interactive map which may sit alongside the window into the main virtual world - as occurs with many videogames - or which often appears as a handheld miniature map, usually in 3D in more immersive environments. Alternatively it may appear as an augmented reality projection outside the virtual world.

In either case, it is tied into the larger simulation. If a user selects any point within the WIM, they are instantly transported to that point within the main world.
