Moving in game map?

I would like to start playing on a triple monitor set up. One of the main reasons would be to move the in game map to one of the side screens so I can play with it open and view my movements and locations if it's possible. I know there is an addon called Azurah that lets you move the ui elements. Does anyone know if the map can be moved? If so how? Thanks

    The vanilla map screen captures your key/mouse input, so simply moving it to another screen would still not allow you to play the game while the map is open.

    I think a more realistic approach would be to find a mini-map AddOn that allows you to make the mini-map much larger and/or modify an existing AddOn to do just that.

    Votan’s minimap can have the size and scale adjusted, and can be placed anywhere on the screen. This may fit OP’s needs

    Another silly question. I was able to drag the in-game mini map to a side screen and enlarge it. It does not interfere with game play and serves my purpose. So is there an addon for a second mini map or map that can be resized that I can keep on the main screen? It sounds like the addon Votan's Mini Map uses the in-game one and does not make a second one. Thanks

    Just wondering that can be done with the games minimap as well. What is the advantage of using Votan's? Would it replace the one in game? I just started playing ESO recently and it sounds like there wasn't any minimap at one time.
    If I move the minimap to a side screen it helps my purpose but, I would also like to have another minimap as well. Thanks

    nvm somehow I wound up with Votan's minimap installed thinking it was a in-game one.
