5 GTA mini-maps that fans like the most
1) Grand Theft Auto Vice City's mini-map
Grand Theft Auto Vice City improved upon Grand Theft Auto 3's basic circular mini-map, showcasing a pink outline and more colors, indicative of water, land, as well as roads, which gave it a much more attractive look. These features seem to be why fans like this GTA mini-map iteration so much.
Vice City, which is based on Miami, is now set to return as part of Leonida in GTA 6. So, it will be interesting to see if Rockstar implements a similar mini-map design in the upcoming title.
2) Grand Theft Auto 4's mini-map
Grand Theft Auto 4 has a drab mini-map, but fans still like it a lot. It fits within the game's dark and gritty theme perfectly and can be termed as simple yet sleek. One of the many fascinating facts about GTA 4 is that its mini-map features green and blue circular outlines that depict health and body armor, respectively.
GPS navigators are also visible on this mini-map to provide directions for mission objectives or a player-set waypoint.
3) Grand Theft Auto 5's mini-map
Grand Theft Auto 5's mini-map design took a significant deviation from the series' usual norms. While most Grand Theft Auto games feature a circular mini-map, this one is rectangular. It has health, body armor, and protagonist special ability bars at the bottom in story mode, but GTA Online features only the first two.
The rectangular shape also allows for a little wider field of view, which is why a section of Grand Theft Auto fans prefer this design over the traditional one.
4) Grand Theft Auto San Andreas' mini-map
Grand Theft Auto San Andreas is a fan-favorite and one of the best entries in the series. It offers tons of things to do in its open world that its mini-map helps with exploration. It isn't as bright as its predecessor, Grand Theft Auto Vice City, but fans are still quite fond of it.
This GTA mini-map, which is also circular, has a black outline and the colors used to indicate roads, pavements, and grass are a tad darker.
5) Grand Theft Auto 3 Definitive Edition's mini-map
The Definitive Edition remaster of the GTA trilogy failed to impress fans in many departments. However, one thing that they do seem to like is the new rendition of Grand Theft Auto 3's mini-map.
While the original was incredibly basic, the Definitive Edition added colors and made it a little more attractive. This mini-map also features GPS navigation, which wasn't available in the original title that was released back in 2001.
Grand Theft Auto 6's mini-map has not been officially revealed as of writing this article. So, it will be interesting to see whether it continues the rectangular shape or goes back to the traditional design.
