Maps are tools with which one could orient themselves in a location. They were introduced as digital references to 47's current location Hitman series with Hitman: Codename 47 and have appeared in almost all games in the series afterwards.
Below are maps for individual games in the Hitman series.
Hitman: Codename 47[]
The debut of the map is a rather primitive one where only approximate locations are shown. Only 47 is the only person shown, every npc is not.
The icons on the map are as follows:[]
NPC and other:
- Green circle - Agent 47
- Dark blue circle - extraction point
- Dark green circle - an important thing (e.g. a jade figure) and V.I.P.
- White circle - Vehicle (train)
Other icons:
Exclamation mark - point of interest.
Firearms - weapon stash (note that not all places with weapon stashes have the icon displayed on the map
Man stumbling into hole - sewer access point
Lader with flames - fire escape, non interactable (found in Kowloon Triads in Gang War)
Padlock - locked gate (found in Gunrunner's Paradise)
Arrows that ascend or descend - staircases

Hitman: Blood Money[]
In this part of the game, the maps are very similar to the previous part of the game, except that the colors are brighter and an optional target icon has also been added.

Green - 47
Red - main target
brownish red - optional target.
Orange - guard
Blue - police
white - VIP
grey - innocent
Exclamation point - point of interest
ladder - ladder

Hitman: Absolution[]
In Absolution there's no openable big maps. As an alternative only a minimap in the lower left corner serves as player's position reader.
World of Assassination[]
In WoA, both the large map and the minimap (same location as in Absolution) are preserved. On the big map the levels, objectives, discarded suitcases or disguises, exit points etc. are shown, while on the small map the obstacles and NPCs are shown. When someones can see through Agent 47's disguise or is lured, his/her mark on the minimap will turn white from black point.
