Guys, do you know the COMPASS? It points to your spawnpoint...from there, you find your house.
Guest said: 9th Aug 2016 | REPORT
So far I have about 25 different looking safe houses scattered on top of the earth and am thinking of just flying around in creative and making a map of them, deserts, rivers, and mountain areas.
Guest answered:

I found ink in a chest, I have tons of paper and a compass... There is no map icon. Sorry everyone. But it is helpful to know that the compass will direct you back to your first spawn location.

I never knew that.
Guest said: 1st Jun 2015 | REPORT
How does it direct you back is it a certain direction
Guest said: 7th Jun 2015 | REPORT
Your first spawn point is magnetic north. So the compass always points to it.
Guest said: 24th Feb 2016 | REPORT
You have to use anvil to combine the map and the compass
Guest answered:

I have all the ingredients but it wont let me craft a map.

Guest answered:

No mod or glitch is needed to make a map.
Map:
Go on Survival mode and get Redstone Dust and 4 pieces of Iron Ingot.
Then get a Crafting table and make a compass.
Get lots of sugar cane and make 8 pieces of paper.
Go to your Crafting table and you will be able to make a map.
Crafting Table:
Get 1 Block of Wood.
Go into your Inventory.
Turn the Wood into Wooden Planks.
Turn the planks into a Crafting table
Hope this was helpful

This works in regular minecraft, but not PE
Guest answered:

Sorry, it seems you can't craft maps in PE. The next best thing is to build landmarks to help you remember where stuff is. I built a giant Triforce out of glowstone in front of my house Smile

Guest answered:

Try using torchers and sign board I do this on pe whenever I go exploring just putting trail of torches on way to your house use sing board if you encounter fork caves and digging too depth that would work

Guest answered:

Very few people actually answered the original question. You can NOT make maps in Pocket Edition Minecraft. In all other Versions you can, but not PE.
I tried to build a rail system to the village and couldn't figure out how to make a map in PE, looked it up and unfortunately it not coded into the game yet. No particular reason like some of these golf balls said, "it's too small and easy to explore, yadda yadda... "
But that's not true. It's simply not coded into the game yet.

Guest answered:

You get 8 paper put it around the edges add a compass to the middle
