It's been brought up dozens of times, gellhorn is panama city. lots of real life locations match up. someone found the exact same waffle restaurant and a nearby inn in real life there.

The race track is Sebring though. So maybe its a mix of cities? Perhaps Port Gellhorn will have districts and each district will be based off different west coast Florida cities. In the leaks we only saw the outskirts of PGH. So maybe the outskirts of Port Gellhorn uses Panama City buildings (outside the racetrack). Downtown Port Gellhorn could be Tampa, suburbs Fort Myers, beach other west coast Fl city, etc. 

 

Although due to Georgia esque mountains being near Port Gellhorn and the fact that Panama City is known for drug cartels and crime. This means Port Gellhorn is most likely 99% Panama City, outside of the race track of Sebring, location of Tampa, and Georgia like mountains.

I was wondering what Port Gellhorn could be if it is going to be as big as a second city, then I realized that it could maybe be a replacement for the outskirts of Tampa? Here I made a google drawing where I lined up a map of the Tampa metro area with the mapping project map. My other theory is that when the map gets 'expanded after release', and it adds a Tampa or Orlando area. Realistically, I just really want to see a big second city like San Fierro to Los Santos, and I'm sure rockstar could do this on current gen.

For what @Kid Named Finger said there, see the google maps link on the first page of this topic, all locations found in the leaks, might interest you.

I see many others think this not only me, so adding a bulleted list as it's more clear. The two cities of the game will have important/inspired locations from the following real life ones with few others. Just what I think, might be completely wrong and it's only Panama City for Port Gellhorn and Miami for Vice City.

 

Vice City:

  • Orlando
  • West Palm Beach
  • Miami

Port Gellhorn:

  • Panama City (US)
  • Fort Myers
  • Tampa

I believe there's a third city somewhere. Either on a Caribbean island, another state or South America. We'll see! There might not be/or added later. Again taking best locations out of all.

Thank you for the google maps link because i was searching for it before and couldn't find it. I saw most of the locations being in Panama City as a way that could possibly bring the panhandle and other non-represented areas to make a bigger and more detailed city on the west coast.  It's nice to see I totally agree with you! Plus, some of the events in the leaks talk about houses that can be found near Naples, Florida, near Ft. Myers, so maybe Naples too? Or maybe it's Ambrosia?

 

I agree with @Superdays the most though.

I was imagining that the criminal outskirts of PGH are based off of more criminal cities like Panama City and Ybor City in Tampa, while Port Gellhorn proper is a bigger city based off of multiple big cities in Florida and lower Georgia.

 

Edit since I couldn't quote a @Kid Named Finger: We've still only seen a small bit of PGH though, not to mention lots of buildings in other games are also from other areas. I just like keeping an open interpretation of what it may be. Maybe the teaser will show more Panama City, who knows?

Im South Asian, so Idk much about cities besides the famous ones.

 

I wanted San Diego to be in V back in 2012, no strong feelings for FL cities because they all kinda look the same. Havana would be awesome tho.

They do mostly look the same, that's why I think Port Gellhorn could do well with more buildings from more cities. Cuba does sound like a good other location, though lots of Florida cities already have huge amounts of cuban and spanish buildings and people.

Since I live in Miami and love analyzing trailers, the second I see a teaser posted, I'm getting on the immediately:D. And I think that from my posting in this thread and mapmaking, you can probably tell I'm more excited about the map than anything else...

A motel near Port Gellhorn is close to Jacksonville irl

 

https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1kAXHvvisKXmrydfJ1d10rUE-PJyk9VM&ll=30.05653429999999%2C-82.06826759999998&z=18

I thought that motel was near the Grassrivers and Homestead? Y'know what? Better, I want PGH to be a mix of cities, and now it is.

Exactly. I think Vice and Gellhorn will be two urban representations of east and west coast Florida contained in both cities on the farthest ends of the map. It is probably impossible to get 3-4 fully fledged cities on a map with Rockstar's level of detail and the amount of interiors they're adding so they opted for 2 cities that feature the best-of-everything in Florida on either coast, and I'm personally liking this a lot.

 

So Vice City I see being a combination of the Miami metropolitan area (that is if they don't represent West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Homestead as they're own towns but just all part of Vice City), Orlando for its resorts and possibly even Jacksonville for its large urban parks and reserves.

 

Port Gellhorn might be geographically inspired by Naples or Fort Myers but also takes inspiration from various gulf coast cities like Tampa, Sarasota and St. Petersburg. And given that Rockstar recently tends to depict less popular and obvious locations on their maps, the underrepresented panhandle locations where added as well. So as people here pointed out, Gellhorn's takes inspiration Panama City for its outskirts as well as the high crime-rate in the area, they may be even some further inspiration taken by parts of Tallahassee or Southern Georgia towns, but that's simply speculation.

 

And yeah, I'm also inclined to think think they'll be a smaller 3rd city somewhere on the map personally; whether its in Florida state itself, a nearby Georgia (like Alderney, State of Alderney in GTA IV) or a Caribbean Island like a Havana equivalent.

We’ve already seen homestead, fl in the leaks so that confirms a 3rd smaller city , there’s also a area called “Yorktown” in the leaks maybe Yankeetown , FL which is to the south of Panama City?  , still have the keys and other folks have speculated an area by Lake Okeechobee in the swamps too

Plus, they're adding cities in the future if we're to take the Bloomberg article seriously. Maybe the two fully-detailed cities come first, then an Orlando/Jacksonville area gets made after a few months?

There's like millions of small towns talked about in the leaks, the map will probably look closer to San Andreas, rather than V's map.

Months??? more like years , they’re definitely gonna utilize Vice City & Florida to the fullest extent before they even think about adding an entirety new location :kekw:

Alright, months, maybe not. But if the Bloomberg article is to be taken seriously, we'll probably have more than just one small town, and they'll add even more.

Is Jacksonville an interesting location? I  am not from US/haven't been, it's one I thought they could add but I doubt they will ever add that one, just from google earth I judge here. I see some other city from another state north though.

Jacksonville is not really that interesting (it really only has parks), that's why if it is in the game, it'll probably be combined with Orlando, which has much more interesting things, or maybe Atlanta and other Georgia cities.

Nahh, Jacksonville could be a good location for the protags to run around in. At least, in terms of gang crime and robberies to partake in

Yeah, it would be good to have cities to run around and do crimes in, I'm saying that they could bring the gang wars element to a combined city, where there's a lot to do and lots of crimes to be done. Plus, Jacksonville (technically) has a bigger population than Miami, so having massive gang wars could be cool.

Though there are mysterious places we don't know about yet (Think 'Ambrosia' and 'Yorktown'), these aren't necessarily pointing to Orlando in specific. As I've been thinking/hoping, It may get added later through updates or DLC, or it is existent but not shown in the leaks. As for theme parks, I think that some events in the game might've mentioned one.

GTA 6 towns and cities leaked

 

In a thread on Reddit, user ‘tusstaster’ compiled a list of every city and town in GTA 6 along with locations inside of them.

In total, 12 cities and towns were found in the files with the main one being Vice City, but there are plenty of others worth noting.

 

The full list consists of: Port Gellhorn, Ambrosia, Redhill, LO, Sundown, Copperhead, Yorktown, Lake Leonida, Ekanfinika, Hamlet, and Domed Hills.

Additionally, there are some special locations such as a couple of strip malls, a forest, a beach plaza, and even drag strips.

 

https://www.dexerto.com/gta/all-gta-6-locations-and-events-possibly-revealed-in-major-leaks-2091214/

 

When were 12 cities and towns found in the file?

It's definitely allowed! It doesn't show any photos from the leaks so we're okay!(at least from my understanding) The 12 cities and towns come from the events/world events files. Most of the files have names like PGH - Cops Showdown or something. This must've been the case for some of these towns. We know Yorktown, Ekanfinika, and Washington Beach from road signs. I think I've seen evidence for all but Sundown, but then again, I haven't read all the events...

Hopefully GTAVI will have more towns overall than GTAV. GTASA had 3 cities and 10 towns, RDR2 had 1 city and 8 towns and meanwhile GTAV only had 1 city and 4 towns with only 2 of these towns (Paleto Bay and Sandy Shores) really fitting that title.

V could've put all those towns together and it still wouldn't be worth visiting... I hope they're more like San Andreas towns that are cool to visit, but also have the attention to detail of the city.

I might be reaching but there's a world event named "Fairyland Forest Puzle" 

 

Ofcourse it might just refer to a random forest or it is the name of the forest that's part of/near Fairyland (possibly Disneym?). So... There's that

Domed Hills is seen on a sign across the intersection from where the Hank's Waffles is located, LO is assumed to stand for Lake Okeechobee (as a working title in the game files), and Hamlet is assumed to be the name used for the in-game depiction of Homestead, FL.

But if they do add Orlando and Jacksonville in the future, wouldn't they risk feeling redundant since Vice City and Port Gellhorn may allegedly already be taking the best or most notable parts of these cities (Disney World, Parks and Resorts) and incorporating into them each city? That's why if it's the case, or unless there's already an Orlando somehow in the game, I'd hope they'd focus on adding in other Florida cities - perhaps focus on representing the panhandle in general with cities like Tallahassee or Pensacola before they work their way up proper to Georgia proper with an Atlanta equivalent and then nearby states with New Orleans (Saint Denis).

I doubt they'll add Orlando-specific things like Disney World in Vice City or Port Gellhorn. Even if Orlando isn't in from the start. They'll severely limit their own creativity. Plus, Downtown Orlando is different from Miami and Tampa's downtowns. IF they add orlando stuff to other cities, focusing on Tallahassee and etc. would be better, but there's plenty of stuff in Orlando to separate it enough from Miami to the point that it probably wouldn't fit.

One of the primary influence for Gellhorn will be Florida Panhandle city. I really don't think rockstar will bother exploring more Florida cities in map expansions. Atlanta/New Orleans or a South American City is the most likely map expansion
