Serious question, how much of the map do we think is water
An archipelago, a wetland, a coastal city, a forgotten coast, and a national park that presumably has lakes and rivers in it. If you drew a box around the playa...

Does anyone actually want to run the survey with me
Following the method draft. I need a minimum of three people for the medians to mean anything and I would rather have six. It is not glamorous. It is driving th...
The map post, final pre launch version
Co-signed by several people in the thread where I proposed it. This is what is actually known. Setting: the state of Leonida, based on Florida. Six named region...

The six regions are not equal in size and everyone is treating them as though they are
Vice City is described as roughly twice Los Santos. The other five regions share whatever is left of a state that is about triple RDR2's area. That does not div...
What we actually know about the map, written plainly for new people
Everything below is from Rockstar or a sourced interview. Nothing here is inference. The game is set in the state of Leonida, based on Florida. There are six na...

A short note on why every fan map is wrong in the same direction
Having looked at about a dozen of these now, they all make the same error and it is a psychological one rather than a geographic one. Everyone draws the city in...
Can anyone get a travel time estimate out of the footage at all
Following up my scale post. I have tried three approaches and all three failed. Vehicle speed against passing geometry does not work because we do not know the...
Would anyone co-sign a final pre launch map position
Proposal, because I would like this forum to have one honest document going into November rather than forty diagrams. The position: we know the six region names...

Survey method, first draft, for October
Since a few people said they would contribute, here is a draft method to argue about now rather than in November. Distances measured by driving, not by map. Sam...
Which of the six regions actually appeared in the footage
Trying to establish this cleanly because people are describing regions they have not seen. My count: Vice City extensively, the wetland clearly, a run down coas...
Has anyone worked out where the six regions actually sit relative to each other
We know the names. What I have not seen is a defensible layout. Keys are south, obviously. Mount Kalaga is described as being on the state's northern border. Vi...
Are we sure Mount Kalaga is a mountain
Serious question and not a joke. Florida's highest point is about a hundred metres. There is no mountain in that state. So either Leonida is not a one to one Fl...

Revising the confirmed region count downward again
Where this stands after the bridge argument. Vice City: extensively shown. Grassrivers: clearly shown. Port Gellhorn: almost certainly shown, based on the run d...

Following up on the road sign in the repeated street
Somebody spotted that the same stretch of road appears twice from opposite directions, and that there is a road sign visible in both. I have spent two days on t...
Did the footage give us anything usable for scale
Looking for anything measurable. A drive between two named places with a visible clock. A flight across something. A skyline shot from a known distance. My conc...
Is the water in the footage the Keys or is it just coastline
This is the one region identification I keep going back and forth on. The boat sections show open water with land visible on one side and occasionally on both....
Final region tally, and then I am closing the book on it
Asking for corrections before I stop updating this. Vice City: shown extensively. Grassrivers: shown. Port Gellhorn: near certain, based on the run down coastal...
Running the actual numbers on the map size claim
Rockstar said Vice City is roughly twice Los Santos, and the full map is about three times RDR2's. People are treating those as the same claim and they are not....

First pass at region adjacency using only what is on screen
Building this from the aerials and the transitions rather than from vibes. What the footage supports: the city sits on the coast with water on at least two side...
One last frame request and then the map thread closes
Asking once more in case anybody has been sitting on something. A bridge over open water. Any elevation above about fifty metres. Any agricultural machinery. An...
