Is the car going into Los Santos or in the opposite direction?

 

 

I checked out the picture trying to change its tone, color, and sharpness and it says either East or West "Los Santos" and below that it says "Left Lane" and in the yellow bar it says "ONLY"

[panthermodels]

I still think its from the other side of the mountain - People looking out over the ocean.

 

The rocks line up better on the mountains north face.

I concur - Hikers shot is facing south to the north side of mountain.

I think his house is one of these just to the left of where they are standing - You can see the flat roofs from this type of house

There is about 3 of them I think in this shot.

I think Franklin's house is more to the east, and out of shot on this image.

yep that's definitely not a cloud it either another city or its an island most likely an island

[no_snacks]

I think Franklin's pad may be one of these, or at least somewhere close to this.

Remove RGB, high up contrast and brightness and the horizontalline makes a funny thing at that spot.

[Supercrammer]

Does whats circled in red look like the end of a passenger train? You might need to zoom in on your own.

The bridge in the other screen released today (mouth of the Zancudo) does not have any arches and the bridge to the north of that (from the gameplay trailer) has notches cut in the side of it. So this bridge is niether of those. Just a hunch, but I think this is from the other side of the map.

That screenshot kind of reminds me of this.

And I highly doubt oyu would need to go to some mountain-way highway to reach east/west Los Santos.

that is the either the same bridge or it is built identical to the one you speak of. you can see the "cut out" part of the bridge between the last two utility poles on the right side of the brigde. its directly at the top of the bridge support. you can also see it on the other side of the bridge

I didnt mean the highway is heading to East Los Santos or West Los Santos. I meant the highway is either West-Bound or East-Bound towards Los Santos. If we consider that based on the maps created by users, that really wouldn't make sense because there is nothing to the West and barely anything to the East to have that kind of terrain.

Its just the horizon

The horizon is the blue line. The landmass is inside the red line.

Drop that blue line to where the "building" is and there is the start of your horizon.

Ahh. You are correct. Good spot.

The horzon line doesn´t pass over the landmass. It´s far.

From where is this screen?

HUD is wrong and we are not in vinewood out there.

It was a fan made screenshot. It's in the Fan Art thread.

Just scroll down a bit.

In the Sabre GT screen it looks like there is a partially tunneled road far to the top left of the Sabre. I hope it's a road/tunnel. Would be a pretty damn nice scenic drive.

Franklins apartment

 

--screens--

I think it's the same apartment :

 

It's the same screenshot just that they took it up close.

[The Leprechaun]

 

For mapping purpose

I don't know if anyone has noticed this yet, but Fido if you look at the Sunset Tower Hotel, the Viper Room is just east (left) of it on the same road (W. Eclipse Blvd.).

[Musa98]

Yes I noticed that and it confirmed how I put them on my map. *proud*

I knew that was the Equitable Building

I'm right
