Really enjoyed the video, helps understand so much more just how the eventual map comes to be. It still amazes me some of the discoveries everyone can find!

Keep up the videos and the amazing work!

I'm thinking the "dirt bike dirt bags" scene is Brickell area, likely on the west edge towards the interstate. May be mixed with Downtown. Put together a few images comparing real life locations.

• The public pay phone kicked off this journey which had me start mapping them. They sprung up mid-2010s. Some stayed and some didn't so may have missed a few but I got most of them.
• I believe that is a billboard mast top-center so added in the billboards and also cell towers to compare likely locations used for influence.
• Finally, given the angle of the [assumed] setting sun, it appears to fit the angle for Brickell in-game.

v0.043

I still have a huge list of things to add & change, but this will do for this update!

Added Viewing cones to all the markers to represent general viewing direction (The angle of the cones are only representative of the direction).

Changed Speculative location markers which now have red outlines to distinguish them from known location markers.

Tagged all the coordinate markers with their corresponding clip names, and changed the naming for the markers in the Key.

Lookin good Dup. Not sure how new the vision cone thing is showing the angle we see the map from in the trailers but it's pretty useful.

Disclaimer: I understand that this will be a polarizing change, but the Panhandle was added due to popular speculative discussion and analysis. I want to keep this map as balanced as possible in terms of confirmed and speculative data, however there is some evidence to point at a panhandle. and I've been mulling it over for several weeks. As with all other areas of the map, when new evidence arrives, it will be changed to reflect that.

v0.045

Updated the Waning Sands area based on new analysis data.

Increased island size & shape to include a Northwestern Panhandle, based on much speculative analysis & evidence. Also shifted the island and grid on the map to the Southeast to accommodate new/future landmass.
