GameMaps vs Tarkov Lab

GameMaps provides interactive maps and related tools for video games through its website, with a Windows option through the Overwolf app. Its map collection includes Escape from Tarkov, Valorant, Counter-Strike 2, and Overwatch. For Tarkov, maps include 2D layouts, 3D renders, stash and key maps, and quest maps, with markers for extracts, spawns, bosses, keys, locked doors, loot, and quest objectives. Logged-in Tarkov users can mark quests complete and enter their player level to see relevant quests. GameMaps also offers Tarkov tools for items to keep, ammunition, and quests. Browser maps are free at free. The Overwolf app provides an in-game overlay and can also run in a secondary desktop window; paid subscriptions are available through the app, but no price is listed. Some features require an account, and features may differ between the website and app. The service is supported by third-party advertising, and users can adjust cookie and advertising preferences through privacy settings.

Tarkov Lab is a free Windows companion app for Escape from Tarkov. It brings maps, quest progress and market information into one interface. All 12 maps and their floors are available, with switchable layers for extracts, quest objectives, loot and keys. The app reads game logs to update progress across more than 500 quests and place objectives on maps. Its item browser covers over 5,300 items, showing flea prices, 24-hour averages, price ranges, 48-hour trends and trader restock timers. A configurable minimap overlay can display live position and a raid timer, and a crosshair editor is included. Squad mode shares live positions and map pings through a room code. Tarkov Lab says it reads logs and screenshots stored on the PC without injecting into the game, reading memory or modifying files. Those logs and screenshots are not uploaded; squad position and nickname pass through its server during a squad session. The beta supports Windows 10 and 11, 64-bit, and has no macOS or Linux build.
