Sho Online uses individual zone loading to move between regions.
Sho Online consists of over 100 uniquely configured fields connected to each other.
To move between zones, you need to use gateways located in each zone. If you move your character to a gateway, a full map will appear
allowing you to choose a zone.
Each gateway in a zone lets you move to adjacent zones. You can only move on step at a time that you can not skip a zone and go to the next. However, you can buy teleport items to move to a certain zone directly.
A Local Map displays the present location of your character and other available regions.
If you select a region, your character can move to the region.

The present location of your character and places your character can go are highlighted on the map. And dark places indicate unavailable places.
