karnak1: Alas... it seems the game doesn't have a constant automap (I could very well be wrong here, but it seems you need to either buy the maps or need a spell to make them work). On this day and age there's no way I'm gonna touch a "dungeon-crawler" without a reliable mapping system.
Sounds like Elminage Gothic, actually. In that game, to view the automap, there were two main options:
1. Cast a spell. This spell is a 1st level mage spell, for which a character who can cast such spells gets one cast per level, to a maximum of 9, which can be restored by resting at the inn. (In Elminage Gothic, the 2nd level cleric spell that would locate dead bodies would also work here.)
2. Buy a magic map. These are single-use items, but they can be bought from the store in unlimited quantities. In Elminage Gothic, you could (IIRC) have up to 9 per inventorey slot.
(Elminage Gothic also has a special reusable map you could get. It has a small chance of breaking, but there's a 5th level alchemist spell that repaire all items in your entire party's inventory.)
