Exploring GTA VI's mapping project 

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

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

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

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.

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)

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

@@VigoRU-vid if you are not a old person in critical condition, then you should be a-ok👍🏽💯

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

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

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?

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

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. 🤣

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.

Bingo 💯

Ngl gta5 map feels really small

It’s gta5s pause soundtrack

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.

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!

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.

Thank you!

Plus gta 6 had some pretty substantial leaks

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.

What's a steam deck?

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching:)

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.

Prepare to be disappointed.

Knowing the streets like the back of your hand over time makes it feel so much smaller :/

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

damn just saw your exploring the updated version in my recommendations right after commenting this

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.

Apparently SERA (NASA) was a part of the leaked event list.

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.

I’m using a very very old Blue Snowball 😂
