So now having these results we can finally guess how big land areas in every GTA really are! OK, next map pack and water areas in pixels for you to realise the essence of my map measuring O_O Ain't that simple? If not, you'd better not scroll down, I'm warning you Then, inside this rectangle, I've drawn many, many rectangles, triangles ( ) and trapezoids, but ONLY on water areas! Why? Well, do some maths: Total area - Water area = Land area. As you might notice, we just need to double each pixel length given above and square.Īfter establishing units, I've had to find 4 extreme points of each map (4 because of 4 world directions, obvious ) and draw an outer rectangle, in which these extreme points must be situated on its sides. Let's see this:įor the area measuring it is vital to establish the area unit, which in this case is 1 square mile. What do I mean? If you draw that unit on each map, it won't have the same pixels length. Then, I ran half a mile (checking the travelled distance by foot in game stats from time to time) and after that distance I marked the finish point of my map measurement's unit.įor this comparison I've used 5 maps with different resolutions, so the half-a-mile unit isn't the same on each map. Firstly, I marked one of the characteristical places on every map as a start point. When it comes to me, I use the most predictable method which is running/walking/driving the particular distance (in my case it's half a mile) along the straight south-north or east-west direction. There are different ways of map measuring. OK, so here we go, but I don't know how to start this s**t! NOTE: The GTA V map unfortunately wasn't uploaded in original resolution (4000x4000), but please believe that all my calculations presented below are correct Other maps should be uploaded OK. Los Santos is the biggest city in 3D Universe.Īnd there will be TWO types of comparison: by total area and land area. The GTA V map is 49 sq miles (127 sq km) size.ħ. Los Santos in GTA V is around the size of GTA IV's Liberty City (with Alderney of course, but remember! Alderney in fact is an another city and even in another state, but in this case Alderney will be included as a Liberty City's borough, so luckily you won't be confused ).Ħ. The GTA IV map is around half a GTA:SA map.ĥ. The cities in GTA:SA are compared by size like this: Los Santos > Las Venturas > San Fierro.Ĥ. San Andreas in GTA:SA is circa 14 sq miles(36 sq km) size.ģ. The GTA:VC map is bigger than the GTA III one.Ģ. The following post is some kind of report, where I'm gonna explain you step by step all my calculations in the whole time-consuming process (It took me circa 1 month to complete this task! O_O).įirst of all, I want to present some well known for GTA fans assumptions and prove if they're really correct. Removed the two other safezones that Gamepires removed.Hello mates! Here you can find a very detailed GTA map comparison.Opened up and reorganized the legend area so that I can add more icons later as new icons are needed.Added legend color for the train tracks that are already on the base map.Added legend color for the dirt roads that are already on the base map, and sometimes they are dirt, other times they are not.Added legend color for the paved roads that are already on the base map.So in the interest of cleaning up the map a bit, I've removed that text. The bunker numbering system is an older style of naming them that never caught on. Instead the bunkers will just be a red blob on the map. Removed the Bunker XY numbering system.Scoured the map and new areas for all POI's that I could find.Docks were added to the shipwreck and caves sheet. Sometimes boats spawn here, sometimes they don't.
