The basic game Arma 2: CO for DayZ offers 3 huge game maps besides one smaller one. Chernarus is the current game world of DayZ and since you spawn with no ingame map at all, there is a little help available.
This is a nice webpage with the Chernarus Map Online:
- zoomable; with town names in latin letters aswell in Cyrillic...ingame names are in cyrillic thats why the map is a big help.

@Gamplay ProTip: Playing without any map gives a much more intense and exciting expirience ingame. You are on your own and have to discover the world for yourself. I would try to play without the map first like the game should be played...you will find a map aswell as loot ingame if you are lucky. Use the online map really only if you cant advance ingame anymore.
Chernarus is the current game world of DayZ

Yeah always have that up on my second screen helps a lot when trying to team up with m8s
Well honestly, the most fun you have ingame is actually without any map. So this online map is a huge help but takes away aswell the unforseen and a part of the thrill. Especially at the beginning in the first days.
This is quiete cool, since Chernarus is based on real date..some real life footage:
