Empty spaces indicate a lack of evidence.
Unlabeled areas on a fan map initially indicate gaps in knowledge. This does not necessarily mean that the finished game world will remain empty in those areas.
Maps change with new images
The mapping community is constantly revising locations, outlines, and place names. Therefore, older maps should always be shown with their version number.
Debate about Leonida’s northern border
The May 2025 Mapper AMA discussed whether Leonida should end as an island or have a land border. This historical debate explains the different fan maps.
The controversial Panhandle
Fans are debating whether the game world accurately reflects Florida's western reaches. The modified fan-made maps demonstrate how closely expectations can be tied to a real-world model.
Past mapping successes are no guarantee of accuracy.
Reconstructions of earlier GTA maps are a popular argument for the credibility of GTA VI fan maps. However, separate evidence is still required for individual locations.
How long is the drive through the Keys?
The large bridge views are prompting many distance estimates on Reddit. However, a reliable travel time requires a verified route and measurements taken within the released game.
3D reconstruction as a visual aid
A spatial reconstruction can clarify where trailer cameras might have been located. It should be presented as a model with assumptions.
State of Leonida
State of Leonida is an independent fan project with a dynamic map and coordinate display. It offers a supplement for research into spatial relationships.
Landmarks first, overall outline later
For a personal database, individual visible landmarks are often more useful than a supposedly complete map. Each landmark can be assigned an image, an estimated position, and a verification step.
Collaborative Trailer Analysis
The community is compiling details from Trailer 2, official screenshots, and Rockstar's profile pages in an analysis project. It is a research directory, and its individual claims should be verified separately.
30 or 60 frames per second?
Framerate is one of the most frequently discussed technical issues. Reddit posts argue based on console hardware and comparisons to other Rockstar games.
What can the PS5 Pro change?
Fans expect higher frame rates or sharper images from the PS5 Pro, but argue about the limitations imposed by the processor and image reconstruction.
First-person perspective, camera and field of view
What trailer images reveal about the camera, which views fans want, and why an adjustable field of view is not yet confirmed.
Visible interior spaces are not automatically accessible.
Fans are examining illuminated spaces behind windows and debating whether they are set pieces or accessible areas. These two categories must be distinguished in database entries.
When will GTA VI be released on PC?
PC gamers are discussing possible gaps between the console launch and the release date. Previous release schedules serve as a guide, but not as a set date for GTA VI.
PC system requirements
Without concrete, verified GTA VI requirements, it is impossible to derive a reliable PC performance profile from trailer images or from GTA V.
What questions come up repeatedly?
Release, PC, hardware, game world, online, music and the return of familiar characters form the core of many recurring user questions.
What cheats do players want?
Fans have cited invulnerability, skyfall, crazy NPCs, and flying cars as popular sandbox feature requests. A real code list should only be released after verifiable confirmation.
Desire for a more down-to-earth online mode
In the online discussion, users express a desire for a more crime-focused game and less dominant science fiction vehicles.

Part of the community would like to see future expansions of the single-player storyline in addition to the online version.
Historical radio requests
