is this a bug in Morrowind?

| Sorry for the crosspost.
I just picked up a used copy of Morrowind: Game of the Year edition for
the XBox and I've tried starting 3 characters. All three times, my map
hasn't worked. The world map is fine, but not the normal map. It's
just black, in both the minimap and the fullscreen map. I've played
each one for a while (like an hour or so.)
I played the PC version a little a while back and I had the map from
the beginning. This seems like a bug/bad disc, but I confess I was too
lazy to read every word of the manual to check if this is a new
"feature" and I get the map later. The rest of the game works well
enough.
In short: is my game disc screwed up? It it supposed to be like this?
Thanks.

I'm not sure you remember entirely correctly. The PC version may have the
full map, but it's details are opened bit by bit as you visit the locations.
In other words, you don't have everything from the start, and that way
encourages exploring the world.
I haven't played the Xbox version though, but the black colored map could be
doing the same thing, only a bit more "obvious" or downgraded from the PC
version.

| I played it for a while and if I remember correctly the world map is
fully visible and turns darker in the corners you explored. The close
up maps of locations are black and fill in when you walk around areas.
I am sure there is nothing wrong with your disc, as this seems to make
sense. Afterall, the game comes with a paper world map (as in everyone
has it, blah blah) but you must explore the locations to know what is
where.
Morrowind is kind of a strange game.
