Map data, sources and unconfirmed places
Where the map image, places and camera positions come from, what “Unconfirmed” and “Not officially confirmed” mean and how the data stays current.
Published
The map image and place data of the map come from the community and are licensed under CC BY 4.0. WANTED SIX stores them itself and shows them in its own design. WANTED SIX is not an official Rockstar Games product, and the map is not an official map of the game.
The sources
Places: GTA VI Landmarks Data from GTADB (map.gtadb.org and all contributors) under CC BY 4.0. Names, areas, categories, facilities, statuses and the scene images come from there.
Map image: via GTADB under CC BY 4.0, currently the YANIS GTA VI Community Map (V17).
Camera positions: locations of scenes from the official trailers and screenshots, derived by community analysis, from gtamaplib (Unlicense). They also show the view direction and field of view.
Editorial team and community: if a place comes from the WANTED SIX editorial team or from a reviewed community suggestion, its panel says so under Source.
All licence and attribution details are under Settings in Map data & credits. There is more in the disclaimer too.
What we changed
The map image is clipped, and its embedded legend is hidden. The place data is reduced: we don't take over real-world addresses and photos or the source's editorial notes. Places without a known name are called Unnamed place on the map. Areas only exist as a detail of a place. The map shows no area borders and no heights, because no usable data is available for them.
What the labels mean
Unconfirmed: the source labels this place as unconfirmed.
Not officially confirmed: the place is based on material that was not officially released, such as a leak. The map always shows such places without a scene image.
Enterable, Closed and Demolished describe the state of the place according to the source.
Under Layers you can switch off any label in Status. Places with that status then disappear from the map. That way you can, for example, hide everything that isn't officially confirmed.
How the data stays current
WANTED SIX regularly compares the place data with GTADB. Every new data version is checked before it appears on the map. Changes at GTADB are therefore not visible straight away. You can see the current version under Layers in Map data and under Map data & credits in Data version.
If a place is removed, your favourites stay and are marked No longer on the map. An old link to that place shows a notice.
Mistakes in the data?
If a place is missing, you can suggest it with an account. If something about a place is wrong or the map doesn't work properly, write to us via Report a bug or the contact form. See also Using the map.
