Using the map

Opening the map#

Close the fullscreen map with Esc or Backspace.

Moving around the fullscreen map#

The buttons on the map centre it on you, zoom in and out, change the map style and turn postal codes on or off.

Setting a waypoint#

1. Double-click the map
2. Search for a place, zone or postal code — the map flies there — then double-click it
3. Set it from another script or the game itself, as you always have

The route draws itself in and shows the remaining distance. It follows roads in a car, works on foot (the base game does not do this), and becomes a direct line in a boat, helicopter or plane. It survives teleports and respawns.

Finding things#

• Search looks through locations, zones and postal codes.
• The legend groups blips by kind and lists zones. Each one can be hidden or shown, or all at once. Fold it to a strip of icons when you want more map.
• Postals — turn them on with the Postals button. They are the standard postal codes most servers use.

The pause menu#

Esc opens the pause menu: your name, ID and face, the server name and how many players are online. Switch tabs with Q / E:

• Map — the map, with M to open it fullscreen
• UI settings — your minimap and theme colour, with a live preview
• Game settings — opens GTA V's own settings (controls, audio, display, graphics, camera) and brings you back here when you close them

Making it yours#

Everything below is per-player and remembered between sessions.

• Map style — Game, Print or Render
• 2D or 3D — chosen separately for the minimap and the fullscreen map
• Theme colour — 12 colours. It colours the minimap, the map, the menus, your waypoint and route — and GTA's own HUD accent follows it
• Minimap — shape (wide, square or circle), size, which corner it sits in, zoom, and whether it turns with you or keeps north up
