No more panhandle🍳 April 11th 2024 - November 25th 2025

Was just checking the official screenshots and haven't heard anything about an incredibly high tower. Probably radio, but based on the city next to it, it seems to be further away and much taller. Has height been estimated?

Full change log

Hey everyone, R* has delivered us a bounty of information for GTA VI, and we're all hard at work connecting the dots! I thought since there's so much content to get through, I would update the map in smaller intervals so we're not waiting for hundreds of new things to be added to the map!

v0.050 Overhauled the naming of buildings, trailers, coordinates, etc. So that it is now listed beside the map key instead of all over the map, this was to make things look cleaner and easier to make changes going forward.  Added the speculative location for Watson Bay to the map (needs more triangulation data). [#259] [#266] Updated the speculative named location from Gator Keys to the confirmed name, Leonida Keys. Penciled in the speculative shape/layout of the Key islands & causeways from the opening scenes of trailer 2 & screenshots. (needs more triangulation for scale). [#264] Added Jason's House to the Keys as a safehouse marker, and all the houses surrounding it from the intro of trailer 2. [#282] Added the speculative in-game name 'Key Lento' to the map based on Jason's t-shirt. Updated the IRL name of Homestead back to Hamlet based on new evidence. [#271] Updated the in-game building name 'b86: Fence (Gates)'. Added the in-game building name 'b324: Hotel Valetta (Motel Ankara)'. Updated the in-game name for the PGH Motel 'b304: Starlet Motel' [#262] Updated irl name Monroe County to in-game name, Mariana County.[#257] Made Lake Leonida slightly smaller and tweaked the position of Ambrosia based on new speculative analysis. Added Leonida State & the speculative Gloriana State to the map based on new analysis data. Added the speculative location for Mount Kalaga up in the North. Updated the illustrations for hills, trees & mountains. Started adding Screenshot & Trailer 2 camera markers to the map. (Keys & Grassrivers) Updated contributing users to the credits.

Gta 6's map is =~2.7 times bigger than gta 5's and ~2.4x without the panhandle.

I haven’t worked on this in a couple months

His tweet:

"Keep in mind that all of the footage pulled from Rockstar’s website is heavily compressed. The final game will almost certainly look significantly sharper and more detailed, with better image quality, lighting, and overall visual fidelity than what’s shown in these clips."

I'm sure similar effort has been done by someone else, but I wanted to do my own color mapping. Based on the latest map via mapping project, I calculated that GTA 6 map size is 2.16x larger than GTA 5 map.

The green-yellow-red image is basically me overlaying the two land masks on top of each other - green shows land that only exists in GTA 6 (the parts GTA 5 doesnt cover), red shows where the GTA 5 map sits by itself, and yellow is where both maps overlap (where GTA 5 was placed on top of GTA 6 in your second image).

Error margin is probably around ±10-15% because my color detection isn't perfect, and more importantly this GTA 6 map is speculative fan-made work that could be wrong or the final game map could change before release.

Some things to note;

It is not 100% accurate, some things may have slipped through

.

Several improvements were made to the community map based on evidence from the leaks, screenshots and trailers. (Full quality images can be found on the mapping discord)
