There are currently several maps in public rotation. The next round's map is selected by a map vote that in the preceding round that takes place before roundstart, about 69 seconds after the game announces it's time to ready up, and lasts for about 420 seconds. Few people usually vote for maps, multiple maps can be selected, and while the "Preferred map" option in character setup counts as a full vote (1.0), it'll pick only one, so your vote really does count! Also, many maps have voting machines that you can bribe to rig the vote in your favour. Democracy!
Note that Cogmap2 will only appear on the vote when the server population is over 40, and Atlas when below 30. Cogmap1, Destiny, Clarion, Manta, and Kondaru stop becoming available as map vote options when server population is above 80. When the server is in RP mode (i.e. on the RP servers), Cogmap1 additionally requires at least 14 players online during map vote to appear as a map vote option. On Ass Jam, a couple of old maps return in the rotation, as well as a couple unique gimmick maps.
| Current Maps |

| Cogmap2 · Cogmap1 · Nadir · Clarion · Oshan Laboratory · Atlas · Kondaru · Donut 2 · Donut 3 |
Where the hell am I?
The current map is indicated in the Status tab at the top-right, and you can click the nearby "Map" button for a zoomable version of the map.
Cogmap2's departments are roughly shaped like a donut:
| Botany · Bar | Chapel | Arrivals |
| Pod Bay · Engineering | Security · Bridge | |
| Research · Medical | QM · Mining | Escape |

Kondaru's departments are shaped like a donut, if someone took a little bite out of top, spat it out and attached it to the side as nub-nub arms, and sometimes filled in the hole.

Donut 3's departments are arranged in a...donut, who would have thought? It also has an extra "crumb", an off-station asylum, hanging about north and east of Escape, whose shuttle docks in Medbay.

Where is this place? How do I get to it?
In your Special Verbs tab, there is a command called GPS. Click on it, and it'll pull up a list of nearby locations. Select any one of them, and the game will draw a colored line to it. You can use the command again to erase the path. Rather useful, but unfortunately not all maps support it, and not every room/location has a path.
In any case, don't be afraid to ask for instructions to an area over the radio or through Mentorhelp (press F3, go through the Help->Mentorhelp menu in the top left, or use the mentorhelp command). Meanwhile, this wiki has a big ol' box of links to pages on most map locations, shown below. Feel free to peruse it at your leisure.
History
For much of Goonstation's history, the server was always set to one map, and if you wanted to change maps, an Admin had to do it. Now that there's a Map Vote, there's a much greater variety of maps to play on, and you (yes, you--the player!) get to decide which one.
