This is an example of a simple 3D map. It is from a Porsche 911 Fuel Map at Partially Open Throttle. This example is a 12x12 map of 144 pieces of data highlighted in orange.

Definition: Formatted Map
The terms "Formatted Map" or "Map Format ML3.1+" are used at www.motronic.ws to describe the map format that became standardized in 1984 with the introduction of the BOSCH Motronic ML3.1 series ECU. The "Formatted Map" structure was used for over a decade in new Motronic designs and was gradually fazed-out with the newer OBDII designs.
