Which style of radar map do you prefer? Old gen or Next Gen?

Old gen.

 

It is in my opinion easier to spot small details on the map and it is more pleasing for the eyes. I never liked the map in GTA IV either which had the same style as in GTA V.

I prefer the colors of old-gen, but the next-gen map shows more details like individual buildings. Thankfully there's a mod that combines the best of both worlds.

I'd go with old gen if only because the colours show different types of terrain whereas the black and white one doesn't. Even if the "different types of terrain" is just showing sandy coastlines and the desert south of the big lake.

Black and white map to me just looks empty and lifeless. You also have to visually work a tad harder to see the minor roads and details. With the colour one, I can see things alot clearer.

everything looks better with color

Old gen by far, does anybody know the reason for the change?

I like them both, I'd pick the black and white one if I were to choose.

Old gen radar, all the way (or modded)!

B&w worked in IV, in V it just comes off as ugly and... pretentious, I guess?

Regarding the minimap, I always preferred the one from Old-Gen

 

 

It feels more suited for a criminal game, as it just look straight out of a common early 2010s gps put on the screen, the one from Next-Gen feels like, too tactic? Like it wants so hard to feel modern, but ends up looking more straight out of a military game, imo.

I kinda wished PC used Last gen's color but cleaner and HD.
