Markhayzy Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I must be blind but I've only just noticed this screenshot http://m.rockstargames.com/V/screenshots/screenshot/561 When you zoom in that is the Griffith observatory on top of the hill so this is the opposite side of the city or the west side of the map, so based on real L.A the Salton sea area is even further west of this, can't wait to see the map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kesta195 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 That screenshot is looking West. The Salton Sea is East of here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markhayzy Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Whatever direction it's the first bit of map you can piece together with the city Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronZombie Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 You should look at the pic with the observatory overlooking the city. It doesn't show you the whole thing and there's clearly more city that's not shown, but it gives you a good idea of the scope of the map. There's also another helicopter pic looking past the Vinewood sign (you can even sort of see a prison in it) and it shows you another side of the map. Overall if you piece these together it shows how huge the map is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adriaan Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 You should check out the mapping los santos thread. They're doing some pretty amazing things. This map is pretty good I think: http://i.imgur.com/Hd8IL.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kifflom112 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Doesn't even show 2% of map. I'm no troll, but I think you all are setting yourselves up for disappointment if you think the map will be so big that LS is only around 2-6 percent of the map.

Apex Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 That's not even 3% of the map. It's not even 1% of the map Are you being serious? It's probably 1/4th of the map, maybe 1/5th. If you think it's less than 1%, 3% or 10%. You're setting yourself up for disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMyth Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 That's not even 3% of the map. NO The furthest part in the screen stretches on pretty far. That 3% is probably what is visible in the image, give or take some of the area you can't see clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raynos Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 That's not even 3% of the map. its probably about 20% i was gonna say 30%. Maybe even 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This map is pretty good I think: http://i.imgur.com/Hd8IL.jpg That map is the only fan map that has made any sense so far. True story. I don't think that's actually how it will look but that doesn't mean it's not a REALLY good guess. The only problem i have is the orientation is wrong. LS needs to be on the west coast not the south. Screen shots clearly show the sun setting and the sun doesn't set to the south... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This map is pretty good I think: http://i.imgur.com/Hd8IL.jpg It looks like a river in somebody's bowels... Lol... But yeah, I keep picturing the map this way, even before the map was made. Seems fairly accurate to what we see in the screens anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
