The map

Added link to the interactive map.

I'm always impressed. I wish I could code well enough to include these features in the game itself.

I love your map, Fenikso

Wow the map is amazing !! very impressive

Thanks Fenikso


I still have the old copies of the map we used when Elite came out and we where looking at all the extra planets & checking that they were in the right place Lol

Times have changed & they gotten only better....

Can't wait to start using this.

Okay, I've been doing some skunkwork stuff on the map and thought I was onto a winner. I was trying this out:
www.maplib.net/fullmap.php?id=15321&legend=1

The great news is that it uses the Google Map API to do the fancy map zoom stuff. THe bad news is that with the free account, I can't get all the planet markers in place at the same time. I can do about 30 or so markers at a time, but given there are more than 60 urban areas and more wild areas, even purchasing a pro account would not give me enough markers!

Grrrr ... I'm sharing what I have so far (have populated all of the urban areas, but haven't finished the wild areas). I also have the map as a large PNG file. I'f I get too frustrated, I'll just annotate that map and upload it here for your enjoyment

Thanks is pretty freaking cool, slayernz!

slayernz - blown away! awesome work, we've posted it to the blog and facebook!

[slayernz]

Cory, if you want to expand on this, I'll happily give you rights to add/edit/modify the map. Alternatively, we can figure out how to use the google map APIs and come up with something better.
Ideally, I want to get to this state:
grandtheftauto.ign.com/maps/1/Liberty-City-Map

Fenikso,

I was clicking Corey Trese links and saw this:

It is kinda like those maps you posted links to.

[slayernz]

Updated with grid references. Next step, populating the different zone details.

Has anyone done something like this for the iOS version?

[fallen]

melcockles - the map should be exactly the same. Also, the map does not change throughout the life of a game, so you can reference it at any time.

[melcockles]

fallen - since you said the map was the same I decided to have a closer look. Using the map just posted by slayernz...

My map ends at an x of 11. Then again at an x of 9. So my map is much smaller than on the android version. If it matters, I'm running an ipad2 with v1.0.3 and am playing on Diff 3. I've had a few missions that took me a bit off the map, but in others posts it was said that just due to overlapping the HUD.

[Cory Trese]

You are probably seeing the elite vs. Free map size difference?

[fallen]

melcockles - the map posted by slayernz details the full map available with the Elite upgrade. It is many times larger than the free map.

these maps look amazing! several months ago i made some google charts from the data that was available at that time. it is not as nicely formatted as these are but it lets you play with the data a little more. i explain it in more detail here: startradersrpg.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=tips&thread=809&page=1

here is an example map i've used: bit.ly/star_trader_rpg_wild

i also created charts for the ships which you'll see in tabs along the bottom. none of this has been updated in months so the data is a little stale.
