Trivia

• "Mapper" is the English name of an achievement for Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster. The achievement can be unlocked by completely exploring and mapping out a dungeon.
• Mapper exists unused in the data of Megami Ibunroku Persona and the 3DS version of Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers; these games display a minimap at all times, making the spell redundant. In the latter, functionality is still programmed in for it to be cast, last, and wear off based on moon phases, though it does not affect the display of the minimap.
