The radar is an important tool in CS: GO. Using some console commands you can it may adapt it to your liking. The commands can adjust the scale and the size of icons, among other things. Good settings can confer an advantage on one so thoroughly. Here is a detailed guide on how to change the settings.

When CS: GO plays should have the mini-map at a glance. This provides information about where to stay, team members and where opponents were seen. In order to obtain as much information as it is possible with the help of various console commands to make adjustments.

Centering / Decenter

The following command can be the radar center ( "1") or decenter ( "0"), so determine whether the own character should always be in the center.

cl_radar_always_centered

If you move to the edge of a map, you can see more than if the radar is centered and then displays blank areas. Clarifies that is by the following two images. Respect times on how much one on de_inferno with centered (left) and decentered radar (right) looks on T-Spawn.

Scaling

Certainly, the most important setting of all listed here. Thus one can scale the radar. If we make it smaller, you can clearly see more of the map. The default value is 0.7, and the game takes on values from 0.25 to 1.

cl_radar_scale

As a demonstration of what makes the scale of a difference, we have here two comparison images with scale 0.7 (left) and 0:25 (right).

Rotate

Believed to be the radar rotate with the player or not? This can be set with this command.

cl_radar_rotate

Here it will arrive safely to their preference. Basic but I would not recommend this setting to be 1, because one thus can better orient themselves.

Icon size

Reduced to the scaling of the radar, then the icons are less visible. This can be counteracted with this setting.

cl_radar_icon_scale_min

Thus we can grow big the icons even with a reduced radar. The default value is 0.6 and angemommen values between 0.4 and 1. 

Radar Size

There is the possibility to adjust the size of the radar element. Who the radar in the HUD to large or too small, which can now easily via the Options ( "Game Settings" -> "Radar Hud Size") resize by console command.

cl_hud_radar_scale

Thus, the size of the radar is determined in comparison to other HUD elements. The default is 1 and values between 0.8 and 1.3 are accepted.

We have arrived at the end of the guides arrived. The console commands listed offer but already sufficient possibilities to adapt. Just experiment a bit with the values around, because everyone has different preferences when configuring. You have a pleasant for yourself compromise between "as much information" and "easily recognizable" find. If that is the case, one has found the correct settings.
