How Fans Are Mapping GTA 6: Trailer Sightlines, Not a Rockstar Atlas

Two art deco hotels on the beach. A tower in the swamp. Someone draws sightlines through a trailer frame and calls the intersection a county line. That is the community mapping project: careful triangulation, not an official Rockstar atlas.

GTA6 NOW is independent. Official copy lives on rockstargames.com/VI. In 2002, Vice City arrived with a printed disc map. For GTA VI, Rockstar has released six postcards and no official world atlas.

Sightlines through a trailer frame

Before GTA V launched, mappers estimated coastlines from screenshots. For GTA VI, community mappers align camera angles, pairs of visible landmarks, and 2D grids across first-party footage. A Reddit mapping thread documents how those triangulations evolve. The work relies on Trailer 1 (wetlands and Vice City skyline) and Trailer 2 (the Keys, industrial coastline, and open water). Reconstructed 3D meshes and leak coordinates remain speculative and are tracked separately on our tracker.

Six names on the official gazetteer

Rockstar's Only in Leonida overview provides the only confirmed geographic framework:

Tour a few of the must-see destinations across the sunshine state.

The confirmed destinations remain six: Vice City, Leonida Keys, Grassrivers, Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, and Mount Kalaga National Park, each cataloged on the artwork wall. See our Leonida map and six official regions guides.

Official copy confirms Leonida Keys (not 'Gator Keys') and positions Port Gellhorn as an independent coastal area instead of a Vice City district (Port Gellhorn analysis; Ambrosia breakdown). Within Vice City, official postcard copy names Ocean Beach, Little Cuba, Tisha-Wocka, and VC Port; complete district lists remain community speculation.

A multiplier is not a map

Community estimates projecting Leonida at 1.5x to 2.5x the size of GTA V's Los Santos (breakdown thread) are unofficial calculations. Rockstar has released neither surface area measurements nor comparative scale multipliers.

County labels require equal caution. In-game signage and liveries display Vice-Dale, Leonard, Kelly, and Mariana across trailer footage, but Rockstar has not published a county map. Hamlet and Waning Sands remain wiki conjectures.

The consensus fan layout—Port Gellhorn to the west, Grassrivers in the southwest, Mount Kalaga on the northern fringe, and Vice City dense in the southeast—is an informed triangulation, not an official publication.

Official verification standards

We do not treat leak coordinates as an atlas, adopt fan regional renames, or publish speculative scale multipliers. If the upcoming Extended Look (27 August 2026; Netflix 3:00 p.m. ET, YouTube and Rockstar site 9:00 p.m. ET) debuts an in-engine map interface, confirmed coordinates will be documented immediately. GTA VI launches 19 November 2026 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S (release date overview).

Desk pass: 21 August 2026. Official promotional stills verified; scale multipliers, county borders, Gator Keys naming, and leak-era coordinates labeled unconfirmed.
