Fan maps make GTA 6 locations feel almost real

If you have ever zoomed around Google Maps daydreaming about a vacation you cannot afford, you already get the appeal of poking at GTA 6's world before you are allowed to actually drive through it. Long before launch, fans are playing armchair tourist in Vice City, zooming across streets they will not set digital foot on for a while.

The star of that pre-launch sightseeing is a slick browser tool, GTA6Map.net that stitches together everything we have seen so far. Built from trailers, screenshots, and carefully cataloged leaks, it lets you pan across modern Vice City and the wider state of Leonida, Rockstar's Florida-inspired playground. With Rockstar now targeting November 19, 2026 for the release of GTA 6, the map is filling the gap for impatient drivers-in-waiting.

Inside GTA 6 locations

Officially, the game takes place in a contemporary Vice City inside a larger state called Leonida, with glowing beachfronts, swampy inland regions, and island chains that echo the Florida Keys. The fan-made map pulls those pieces together so instead of guessing how far the neon strip is from the mangroves, you can just drag your mouse and see the distance.

Every marker, path, and region is basically a theory you can click. The community behind one popular fan map tracks where each street or pier appears in a trailer frame or leaked clip, then pins it in place. The result is a living sketch of how all the GTA 6 locations might connect once the real game boots up, complete with labels for likely mission hubs and chaos zones.

Hype, leaks, and digital tourism

There is a catch: everything on these maps sits somewhere between confirmed and very educated guess. Rockstar can still shuffle landmarks or cut areas entirely before launch, and anyone who hates spoilers should probably treat the more speculative layers like a construction site marked "enter at your own risk."

Beyond the hype, these tools hint at how we will play once the real thing lands. Players are already planning getaway routes and stunt runs months in advance, turning exploration into a kind of digital tourism itinerary.

By the time you finally roll through GTA 6 locations with a controller in hand, you might already know which beach to race down, which alley to cut through, and which rooftop looks perfect for that first chaotic screenshot.
