Tarkov Lab vs The Forest Map Companion

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.
