# How to Change the Map on Your BeamMP Server (Map List)

> Change the map on a BeamMP server: set Map on Startup to a stock path such as /levels/west_coast_usa/info.json and restart. Full list of BeamNG.drive maps.

To change the map on a FREAKHOSTING BeamMP server, open **Startup** in the Game Panel, enter the map's path in **Map** (for example `/levels/west_coast_usa/info.json`) and restart the server. The default map is Grid Map (`/levels/gridmap_v2/info.json`). A BeamMP server runs one map at a time, and every player loads that map when they join.

| Difficulty | Time | Works on | Panel page |
| - | - | - | - |
| Beginner | 2 minutes | Every FREAKHOSTING BeamMP server | **Startup** |

## How to change the BeamMP map

**1. Open Startup**

Open your server in the [Game Panel](https://games.freakhosting.com) and click **Startup**.

**2. Enter the map path**

Type the path in **Map**. Copy it exactly from the table below, including `/info.json`.

**3. Restart**

[Restart the server](https://help.freakhosting.com/portals/game-panel/how-to-start-stop-and-restart-your-game-server.md). Players reconnect after the restart to load the new map.

## Which maps can I use on BeamMP?

These are the stock BeamNG.drive maps. Every player who owns BeamNG.drive has them.

| Map path for **Map** |
| - |
| `/levels/gridmap_v2/info.json` (default) |
| `/levels/west_coast_usa/info.json` |
| `/levels/east_coast_usa/info.json` |
| `/levels/utah/info.json` |
| `/levels/italy/info.json` |
| `/levels/jungle_rock_island/info.json` |
| `/levels/johnson_valley/info.json` |
| `/levels/automation_test_track/info.json` |
| `/levels/hirochi_raceway/info.json` |
| `/levels/industrial/info.json` |
| `/levels/small_island/info.json` |
| `/levels/smallgrid/info.json` |
| `/levels/driver_training/info.json` |
| `/levels/derby/info.json` |

For a modded map, upload its zip first; see [custom maps](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/beammp/installing-custom-maps.md).

> [!NOTE]
>
> Change the map on **Startup** only. The panel writes **Map** into `ServerConfig.toml` every time the server starts, so an edit in the file is replaced.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I change the map without restarting?

Set the new map on **Startup** and restart. The new value is applied when the server starts.

### Why doesn't my new map load?

The path in **Map** is probably wrong or missing `/info.json`. Check the spelling against the table, or the folder name for a custom map.

### Which map is best for racing?

Hirochi Raceway (`/levels/hirochi_raceway/info.json`) and Automation Test Track (`/levels/automation_test_track/info.json`) are built as race tracks. West Coast, USA (`/levels/west_coast_usa/info.json`) suits mixed free roam. Add a matching tag such as `Racing` in `ServerConfig.toml` so players can find you; see [ServerConfig.toml explained](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/beammp/beammp-serverconfig-toml-explained.md).

### Can I run two maps at once?

No. One BeamMP server runs one map. You need a second server for a second map.
