How to Check Biome Locations

View Coordinates

Your current coordinates are found on the lower right side of the screen whenever you pause the game. These coordinates are in an XYZ format.

Use the Life Pod and Compass

The Life Pod that you start the game in is stationary, so you can use it as a landmark in combination with the compass to get your bearings.

Out of Bounds Appears as Red Lines

When you're nearing the edge of the map, red lines will appear, and going further past these lines triggers a prompt that mentions how the game is still in early access. You can use the boundary as an additional tool for navigation.

Is There a Map in Subnautica 2?

No, There is No Map

Just like in the previous Subnautica games, Subnautica 2 does not have a map. You will have to rely on your compass and landmarks to navigate the new, hostile planet.
