Her future is mapped out for her.

Hi,
Does the above mean "her future has already been fixed/certain" or something else? Thanks.

Without any context, it suggests to me that someone has planned her future for her, or possibly that her particular situation more or less dictates what she will and will not be able (or expected) to do in the future.
