Then, I ran half a mile (checking the travelled distance by foot in game stats from time to time) and after that distance I marked the finish point of my map measurement's unit.įor this comparison I've used 5 maps with different resolutions, so the half-a-mile unit isn't the same on each map. Firstly, I marked one of the characteristical places on every map as a start point. When it comes to me, I use the most predictable method which is running/walking/driving the particular distance (in my case it's half a mile) along the straight south-north or east-west direction. There are different ways of map measuring.
Gta iv map how to#
OK, so here we go, but I don't know how to start this s**t! NOTE: The GTA V map unfortunately wasn't uploaded in original resolution (4000x4000), but please believe that all my calculations presented below are correct Other maps should be uploaded OK.
Los Santos is the biggest city in 3D Universe.Īnd there will be TWO types of comparison: by total area and land area. The GTA V map is 49 sq miles (127 sq km) size.ħ.
Los Santos in GTA V is around the size of GTA IV's Liberty City (with Alderney of course, but remember! Alderney in fact is an another city and even in another state, but in this case Alderney will be included as a Liberty City's borough, so luckily you won't be confused ).Ħ. The GTA IV map is around half a GTA:SA map.ĥ. The cities in GTA:SA are compared by size like this: Los Santos > Las Venturas > San Fierro.Ĥ. San Andreas in GTA:SA is circa 14 sq miles(36 sq km) size.ģ. The GTA:VC map is bigger than the GTA III one.Ģ. The following post is some kind of report, where I'm gonna explain you step by step all my calculations in the whole time-consuming process (It took me circa 1 month to complete this task! O_O).įirst of all, I want to present some well known for GTA fans assumptions and prove if they're really correct. Hello mates! Here you can find a very detailed GTA map comparison.
