Exploring GTA VI's mapping project

- Hello everyone and welcome to the channel. In this video I want to take a quick look at the GTA VI mapping project and how it's progressing. GTA V also had a mapping project that predicted the map perfectly before release using objective data from official trailers and screenshots. For Grand Theft Auto VI, the community has been hard at work ever since the 2022 leaks, and have recently incorporated data from the first GTA VI trailer. This is going to be our best look at a rough map for the new game, so let's take a look.

Video games keeping cartography alive in the 21st century
Hahaha 😂
Wait a minute... Oh my God you are so right 😳
Idk if you know this but GIS is a huge thing and that’s really where cartography is now.
@@Project2457official What is GIS?
@@SussyHiluxEnthusiastgeographic information system
@@Krugster Oh
The fact this dude recorded this off his steam deck 😭 deck gang unite
🫡🫡🫡
Hopefully that means that GTA VI can run on the Steam Deck or at least the next Deck PC.
@@rgkong8783 Haha, that's a very funny joke!
@@rgkong8783maybe the steam deck 2
YOOOOOO
I like the idea of all the islands so boats are meaningful
And obviously there would be A LOT of strangers and freaks on those islands for sure.
Would be cool to have oil platforms or aircraft carriers too
@@thesenate1844 We could possibly get an aircraft carrier shipwreck to explore. There's the USS Oriskany (CVA-34). It's a wreck off the coast of Florida so if we still get submersibles to pilot, then exploring that thing will be amazing.
Not just the islands, but even the bays, the peninsulas, the waterways with bridges. Sure, you COULD drive all the way around, but the boat's right there--
Possibly going down the canals and hunting for gators would be a cool way to earn some cash
I hope I don't die before this game releases
So far so good!
Sad to say I was thinking the same thing, says a lot about the times that we live in.. Give me this game if I'm on my deathbed and I won't need anything else except for my girls there playing it with me or even playing it with my online before I go.. If it's the last thing I ever get to do, I'll be happy! 😅
What makes you think you’re gonna be gone before this game releases? 🤔 Just one year to go.
@@JayyyElite with my luck idk haha
@@VigoUA-cam if you are not a old person in critical condition, then you should be a-ok👍🏽💯
I can't even wrap my head around how people manage to make these, transferring coordinates and disecting the leaks and trailer. All these concepts are very impressive.
This is already looking way better than GTA 5 map
It looks like GTA SA and RDR2 combined with GTA 4 city layout it looks awesome already
A key fun thing that actually will happend, is that Miami is full of islands. Meaning every part of the map feels more isolated and unique while also having the beauty look of beaches everywhere. So that alone will improve the experience a lot. Like in GTA IV map you have those island with they own seperated themes. While in GTA 5 you can go from the bottom to the top so fast that you miss most of the map, letting it feel smaller. Expecially with the highway that goes around the map basically, not in between. And there isn't much reasons to visit the areas on top of the map, making it feel Los Santos only focused. By these Leaks and Trailer, we can already tell there is at least Port Gellhorn for a different area to visit with it's airport and racetrack.
@@MrGTAmodsgermanI honestly like the top of the map id live in paleto bay
Gta 6 got leaked in 2022 and we are now in 2024, times fly.
This is what happens when Rockstar isn’t limited by crap hardware. They go all out with their map design.
@@SCA84 Didn't stop them with GTA SA though
With GTA 5 I think they focused on the wrong things(eg making way too many guns and addons in memory)
one thing that has gotten me to think about this game when it comes out is the possibility and length of roadtripping to different towns considering its waaay bigger than V.
well hopefully top speed will be increased for cars so it won't be that long
Same man! When playing Story mode there is nothing better than a bit of authenticity and a long car ride with the radio.
However, online? Give me a plane man, PLEEEEASE! 🤣
@@thehungryrabbit a great bit of length would suffice. but yeah if its too long it can feel dragging. but i think theyre experimenting with vehicle top speeds with the HSW in GTAO so im guessing that vehicles (in general; modded or stock) will have higher top speed compared to V.
@@thehungryrabbitnah i hope it actually takes some time to go somewhere. It’s so boring when it really doesn’t matter where you are cause you can be anywhere else in like 3 minutes
Same. It’ll be better if it takes longer to get places. The way they could manipulate that for online would be to make the missions based around the area where they are started. For example, not having to travel across the whole map and back for three crates. And toss in some rare missions where you would have to travel across the map but make it worth it.
I love to imagine the devs following the mapping projects and being fascinated by how dedicated and precise some of these are.
always thought about this too
@scumedits and whether they're like, "hmm, is it good a few know certain things, or should we change some things before release," i imagine all kinds of questions they could have and also many times where they'll have to just focus in and commit to the final build
The Port Gellhorn Raceway is likely a reference to Sebring International Raceway in real life, a legendary raceway using runways of an old military base in Florida.
Ahh Sebring is an interesting option, I was thinking about Daytona International, but yours is also a very possible option as well.
Grand prix circuit in gta 6 🥹
@@jorggamingcr409The Sebring Raceway looks almost identical to this one. Definitely Sebring
Also if homestead is a location they might include homestead-miami speedway as well
@@jorggamingcr409I think the sundown beach raceway ( if it's real obviously ) would be Daytona
4:52 The mouse giving me a shoutout lol
Everytime I think we've just about exhausted everything we can from the leaks and the trailer, someone in the server pops up with something else to analyze. Happened just earlier actually. We're all dying for trailer 2. So much fun helping out with the project. While some people seem to think this is going to kill the hype for us, it is actually building my hype up higher than it ever would have been. There are so many details in the leaks and in the trailer that we've found that point to this game being so much more detailed, expansive, and packed with features than any of us can fully grasp right now.
Thanks for showing appreciation for all of us in the credits, I think I can speak for all of us when I say it's very appreciated :). BIG ups to DuPz0r though of course for putting so much effort into the map and being so open to all of our revisions, suggestions and changes as a community. I'd also like to specifically mention rlx from the server. What a machine... so many contributions from rlx.
Thank you for your contribution! I have tons of respect for mappers
Thank YOU for your incredible work! Everybody involved has my undying respect, and the result so far is already amazing.
I’m so excited to revisit the project in another video sometime in the future, but I’ll be checking in all the time on my own as I have been for a while now because I love it so *damn* much.
Keep up the great work! You’re all nuts.
The worry people have for projects like these is that the element of surprise disappears. Would that be fair to say?
Giving me GTA4 vibes with this map ngl. I cannot wait to have car shows at the Gellhorn Airport in Online 2.0
honestly thats nothing like gta 4 map
In what way is this anything like the GTA4 map?
@@EvilTim1911Probably the fact GTA 6 map has islands like GTA 4
Online 3.0*
@@EvilTim1911 Because it doesn’t look like the GTA 5 map. 🤣
That seperation with the waterways in VC itself is gonna make this map/the city feel way, way bigger and more interesting than LS (well, beside it also just being bigger and more interesting), and finally give some proper usage to boats. Gonna be so much fun just driving around the bay and down the keys in a speedboat.
And most of the time you will fall into water when someone shoots you down in Online 😂
@@MrGTAmodsgerman cant wait for this 😭
@@hesklairvoyant imagine you fall down into the everglades and then get eaten by a alligator 😂
@@MrGTAmodsgermanthat would definitely be my luck 😔😂
@@MrGTAmodsgermanI bet there would be no wild animals in online
As a Miami native this looks great. Obviously not 100% true to real life but pretty damn close in some places. I can't wait to explore all the details.
So far I'm really liking the look of this map just based off what we've seen from the trailer, the leaks and this mapping project. On top of the fact we're returning to Vice City which is my favorite GTA location alongside Liberty City. I can't wait to play in this new version of Vice City and Leonida.
With only had vice city once & the map is small as hell
@@ajjohnson3416 Well yeah, Vice City came out before consoles had hard drives or the ability to download content. Devs could only include what would fit on a physical disc.
It’s so important they give players a reason to move around the map los santos was a decent size but everything was in los santos it looks like they’ve taken players advice this time hope so 🤟
Bingo 💯
Ngl gta5 map feels really small
bro the background soundtrack you are using making some of us emotional
It’s gta5s pause soundtrack
Port Gellhorn Airfield is based upon the real life Sebring International Raceway. A fantastic race circuit I might add, so I bet there'll be some spicy online races going down there.
We haven't had a map that's not an island since GTA 3. If the mapping project is right and it's cut off at the top, I wonder 1) how those limits are defined (there's certainly more than two roads leading north and they can't really use a mountain to cut off flying) and 2) if they maybe do it that way to have an option to expand the map in the future.
Probably like Far Cry 5, if you fly out of bounds you just crash/your car dies and you get teleported back, or you get killed by a immortal instant-killing attack helicopter or fighter yet
@sejoki_
Maybe they have a small portion of the northern part maped out (roads and mountains as you said, wich could be closed, even like the bridges where in the beginning of gta IV). They could make it so that you won't be able to pass trough a certain point (on land your car wont be movable -> engine dies / tires loose air / brake stops working and you crash into a tree etc. -> a patrol unit will take you back to the main area (a motel maybe); In the sky, your aircraft engine shuts down / a bird flies into your rotor -> you fall to your inevitable "death" -> wake up in the hospital; on sea, your watercraft will sink (because of rocks "you didn't see") / engine overheats -> you can't swim further or you die via a shark; for those on foot, there are many gators in Leonida... / random people that want to harm you / or the patrol unite again. But what concerns me is how the story should continue (if the map were to be expanded). Yes, that's not a strong argument, but what about the "lore" of the HD universe? How would they explain to us that San Andreas and Liberty City State are part of the US, since VI is a continuation of IV and V. It doesn't make a lot of sense if we find a whole country wich got placed near both locations just now. Those are my thoughts, what is your opinion?
@MrRed_2205 i think it will be probably similar to rdr2, if you get out of boundaries you can still free roam there normally, only when you die you get teleported back to the main land
The mapping project is not implying it won't be an island. It's cut off at the top for now because we have not yet seen anything from up north. It's easier to make a speculative border in the south based on actual Florida geography, but we have no idea how far north Rockstar is going to go. Although, I'd say it will almost certainly be an island, like every GTA with (functional) planes.
Fairyland is potentially going to be a Dinseyworld Parody, and I’d imagine it will work like a waaay bigger pier from GTA 5 with coasters and more activities.
Hopefully they take inspiration from bully with all the activities we could do there especially online with friends.
As a Miami native, honestly it would bring FL to life in the game..justifies an actual Floridian experience
@@kingkammo6139 it’s very highly likely GTA 6 will have disneyworld. The leaks didn’t show it but with the size of the map and surroundings,
I imagine the main 3 cities will be, Miami, Tampa bay, and Orlando. And as a San Andreas fan I’m so happy to see multiple cities back in a gta game along with massive towns in the countryside and not just empty fields and mountains.
@@zenithproductions8307 idk there isn’t much in orlando to make aside from Disney and the sprawling never ending car centric sprawl. Irl its a copy paste endless expanse and there really cant be much to make for it in 6. I’d rather they focused on some of the unique areas on the coast, definitely making the keys unique.
Proud to be a member of this mapping community! I’m sure somewhere on that map is a contribution I’ve made 🥹
Every member of the community has my respect! I love the work that you all do and I can't wait to see how it evolves after some more trailers and screenshots.
@@CaptainGlack neither can I, it’s truly something special. Glad we’ve gotten the attention of a content creator, and we’re even more glad you enjoy it!
i appreciate all this fun work trying to piece the puzzle together, i'm sure it'll be neat to look back on once the game is out!
really nice voice over, and no clickbait with dragged out video time. earned ya self a sub! need more content creators like ya
There's SERA Rocket Launches in the leaked events, SERA is an actual location in the game, I asked Dupz0r why he isn't adding it to the map and he said because he doesn't know how far north it will be so until we know more about where it could be it won't be added. But it is very real, and as someone who's a space nerd I can't wait to watch rocket launches in game.
One of the many, MANY people here who had a hand so far! it's been a very fun and satisfying project and i cant wait to see more, and eventually, how accurate it turns out to be! great video!
Bet Fleeca Field is based on LoanDepot Park judging by the shape, also Hank Hill is probably the best name of a location we have thus far
large chunk of GTA V assets got leaked in PS3 days before games launch including entire audio and many other textures that's why GTA V map is looking so realistic
It would be cool if the Gellhorn Raceway were part of the airport. In real life, the Sebring International Raceway is a very popular racetrack in Florida that occupies part of Sebring Regional Airport (which was originally an Army Air Force base).
Your Channel has a really nice and professional touch. I really like that
Thank you!
When the game is out, I'd love to see someone overlaying all these different fan maps over the real deal to see how close they get
These mapping endeavors are so incredible; a massive thanks to the people that do this
Oh man this video was good I hadn’t seen a video analyzing this as well as you did! I loved that you recorded it on a steam deck too that was the cherry on top 😂
Mate, thanks for this video. Scratched my itch perfectly. Like most watching this video, I’m just super hyped for GTA6 and I’m all up for ‘informed’ speculation. Thank you!
its so interesting looking at the speculation of the gta v map and seeing the differences and similarities to the official map
You've made great leaps on the growth of your channel lately. It will only get better from now on. Congrats on your newly achieved online content creator career. You've won at life.
12:28 I’ve actually been to that bunker irl, idk if it’s actually in the game but that’s amazing if it is
In 20 years, gonna show this to my kid after he watch GTA 7 trailer, tell him you are gonna do this like we did.
Eons of scraping by theories and hope just to quench our thirst with leaks and one trailer
11:11 This is literally Florida's Sebring International Raceway turned 120 degrees clockwise. Turn 17, the paddock bridge that goes over it, the fueling station hairpin and the alleyways leading up to it, turn 7, the hotel driveway for Seven At Sebring... some artistic liberties on the road pathing were taken, but otherwise it's all there! That's dead-ass Sebring!
As a Floridian im so happy they made this gta in Miami 😄
imagine if they were so good on gta 5's map without any big gameplay leak like gta 6 AND it was in 2012s 13s and its 2024 now, imagine how accurate gta 6 map will be
Plus gta 6 had some pretty substantial leaks
bermuda triange is referenced in the leaks so that second one might not be completely wrong
Also I can't wait to see what's up North of the map, maybe a third city inspired by Jacksonville/Orlando
1:50 That's a genuine laugh😂
spooferjack narration quality, love it ❤
looking forward to seeing how the speculation compares to the final product when we get it
11:31 The track here seems to be a 1:1 recreation of the real life Sebring Raceway built on an old WW2 airfield. Very cool!
11:14
That "Port Gelhorn Raceway" is based on the City fo St Petersburg in Florida, they have a race track that in the same place as the airport, this track used as a venue for racing series called "Indycar" in real life
The layout on the map is Sebring International Raceway turned sideways. In a straight line Sebring is a good 80 miles away from St. Petersburg. I found a place called Andersen RacePark that matches the location and they do have open wheel history, but these days they are just a shifter kart and minibike track and the nearest airport is 3 miles up the street.
This absolute gigachad recording the entire video on a steam deck
What's a steam deck?
I've been watching your videos, and I like your content
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching:)
I absolutely cannot wait for that first week of exploring this map for the first time. And you just know that racing around the Port Gellhorn racetrack with friends is going to be fun!
I've got a folder on my phone with this website and the all the '22 leaks that I check every few days to see any new additions or changes made to the project
You've got no idea the long drives I'm going on when I get into this game lol
This map is insane. I hope a lot of the green in the mainland is beautiful forests filled with trees and nature. This game will be so diverse!
You think everything that's in green is the whole Everglades area or just some forest with neighborhoods in it on this map??
Florida tends to not have forests, especially Miami. It’s mainly flat marshland with palm trees and stuff and then there’s the residential areas and other parts with businesses, then there’s Miami Beach and Downtown… but most of this is just the Everglades and doesn’t span close to an buildings.
I can tell you from experience that the area between the major cities is just endless empty fields and marshlands with the occasional tree or cow to spice things up.
@@moldypotato4656 Nah that's probably just neighborhoods and forrest
One thing I noticed is that the leaks map has a lot of open space but the concept map is filled to the brim with roads and small towns
I love these projects, i spent my childhood on forums attemting to map out Need For Speed Carbon's map accurately(as ingame map was awfully inaccurate to hwo actual sceneries and canyon locations were ingame).
My new fav gta channel
From what it looks like “Yorktown” is gonna be based off Tampa. And the port city beside it will be St. Petersburg and where I call home. Clearwater. I also take it that “lake Leonida” is based off Lake Apopka and “Ambrosa” beside it may possibly be Orlando. The speculative “st Joseph” could be Port St. Lucie
really hope at least a little bit of St. Pete is in the game ❤
Considering the size I'd wager its supposed lake Okechobee. Why would they include Lake Apopka but not include Florida's largest lake?
@@moldypotato4656okay that makes it more accurate to our actual land map I just went with lake apopka as it could be a possibility they try to cram in as much as south florida as possible jamming the Cape Coral region with the Tampa bay region but no no okeechobee is obvious with that we could say that the top region of south Florida won’t make an appearance.
Three parts of the map that confirm just how massive this map is going to be. the road you love and the islands at the bottom....just that area alone, looks to be roughly the same size as Blaine County...the speedboats going past the cargo ship, look how far away that bridge is! And the main beach with those NPCs running towards camera
good video dude. youre making the wait a tiny bit easier lol
seeing the miniscule scale of LS has triggered me since release in 2013. if VC is not at least twice as large as LS i will be very disappointed
Prepare to be disappointed.
Knowing the streets like the back of your hand over time makes it feel so much smaller :/
That "Hank Hill" did me in, haha. 😂
Port gelhorn looks a lot like the Tampa bay 👀
As someone who lives roughly in IRL Port Gellhorn area and has crossed the Sunshine Skyway Bridge quite a few times going into Tampa Bay, I'm super pumped for the idea of the Southwest Florida area being in the game. Would also LOVE some Space Coast action to the top-right and maybe even something akin to Disney north of Lake Leonida. I really hope some of this proves to be accurate.
We shall comeback to this when the game is released and years after, reminiscing about how we where all exited and still will be.
fisher island is a place near Miami beach where many multi-millionaires live. I lived in Miami for 12 years, and I have passed it before.
Gellhorn racetrack seems like Sebring Raceway, Homestead may also have an oval racetrack but we don't know yet
I have a feeling that Port Gellhorn Raceway and the Air Strip/Drag Strip is gonna be Sebring International Raceway because if you look at Sebring from a satellite view, you see the 'X' shape you see in the southern part of the speculative roads. The confirmed bit of the drag strip is also the same as the last turn at Sebring. Not to mention that Sebring was a airfield before it was a race track.
Tnhis makes me so damn hyped for the game, I can't wait to explore the new island
the latest updated version of the map looks even bigger than the one in the video can't wait to explore it
damn just saw your exploring the updated version in my recommendations right after commenting this
I know I'll probably be deeply indulged in the Story when I get the game, but I know one of the first things I want to do is just take a boat and cruise around the map in it since I know that water is gonna look absolutely amazing
This channel is goated
Cool, I'm subscribing right now thumb👍
One thing that is consistent between them all is all that water on the right hand side. Surely something will be there otherwise 1) it looks weird on the map and 2) it may as well not exist.
Great video 🎉
You should be making this type of videos and gaining subscribers from all GTA fans and not nitpicking on GTA 5. I subscribed though and i apologize if i sounded rude in your previous video
I believe that race track is gonna be based after Homestead and it's cool that they added it considering the first vice city was taking place in 1986 and Homestead was build in 1993
That's Sebring International Raceway, located in South Central Florida. The black roads match turn 7, turn 17, the bridge over turn 17, the paddock lanes, and the hairpin by the race fuel depot. The red speculation roads are a straight up trace of the real world location, which lines up with the confirmed roads. It's both a road course and an airport IRL.
The work you put into your videos really deserves more subs. I'm only commenting because you're one of the few low sub people I follow. Then again the last time I subscribed to a person with 6k subs, that I guy boomed up to like a million + subs super fast. (The channel was willne). Wish you the same.
Port Gellhorn appears to be an amalgam of Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota and Ft. Myers.
This channel really feels like a hub for rockstar content I’d love to see u have do some red dead content
I also hope we have better clothing options and not so restricted with what you can wear together etc and i hope alot of miami vice stuff
what an era to live in, gonna brag abt seeing it when the kids who grow up on ps5s get older
I really wish they went with the RDR style of mapping. Having multiple states to traverse and having them not just be islands, but have mountains blocking your way out of bounds.
If I may ask, what kind of specs will you be upgrading to with your new gaming pc? congrats btw!
That is good. Hallelujah
11:18 Well, since you touched the subject. While I was watching this video my mind started to "create" things, particularly associated with this; if the new GTA VI is inspired by Florida, the swamps, keys, etc...as a nascar fan I just thought, what if the map has a parody of Daytona International Speedway? not maybe the same layout (obvious copyright issues there) but an oval track with different road courses inside and maybe an artificial lake as well. This is my mind just racing with imagination, but it would be cool to see.
Also, coincidentally, Daytona is next to Daytona Beach International Airport...
Peanut Island...a nice place to store national security documents...
The offset of cordinates 0,0 makes me think something big is going to be there out in ocean
11:13 I was gonna say the location is like St Petersburg which hosts the Indycar street race every year, but if you look close it has the exact layout of Sebring Raceway, which is also an airfield, that hosts the 12 hour race. We should expect at least one oval track like Daytona but maybe Homestead too. Then maybe we'll get the F1 race at whatever equivalent to Hard Rock Stadium there is.
Can't wait to drive to Key West for a party, swear i always wanted to do it in a game 😂 hope it will be intense & full of random events
I can't wait to play this game man
Presidential Bunker has gotta be a Maralago spoof! 😄
It is believed to be based on the Kennedy Bunker, which is located on the real life Peanut Island in Florida. It was a fallout shelter for the president in the event of a nuclear war.
The amount of interesting stuff in the pretty small area we've seen, and we've still yet to see like a 3rd of the map, and we know more or less nothing about the upperhalf of the map.
1:49 how my assignments come out
Can't wait for an easter egg where Hank Hill says "Dang it Jason!".
My hype for this game is unparalleled by anything that has come out in the last 10 years since Skyrim or GTA V.
As a Floridian dis is crazyyyy
I really hope, being Florida, that there's some form of Space Centre.
That would be so cool
Apparently SERA (NASA) was a part of the leaked event list.
lol the Sunshine Skyway is a 3.5-4hour drive from Miami and goes through a LOT of major cities before we get there. I am very curious about how condensed the map will be to get there!!!
Edit after seeing some other concepts:
If any of the prospective maps turn out to be even kind of true, they are essentially condensing all of Florida into an island of .
Also...yea, Florida has a lot of big airports, and the ones you see on the map are indeed the bigger cities' airports (and military bases) so it tracks.
Gelhorn and Yorktown will be the real life equivalent of Tampa and St. Petersburg. Both cities share a bay and are right next to each other,, so basically a twin cities situation.
what mic did you use for the deck that pretty cool!
I’m using a very very old Blue Snowball 😂
Yah love to see it, don't forget! the AI, it's a very interesting topic with the whole abilitie to have enterable interior and everything AI generated
They're called oil dericks by the way
YES thank you! I’m kinda dumb sometimes 😂
One addition I always wanted as a child was Space travel to the moon. It will be a very fun addition
