Interactive Map

The Interactive Map is the whole GTA V map in your browser, with coordinates under the cursor. Click to drop a pin and copy it as vector3 or vector4, measure a route, or share a link that opens the map on an exact spot. On a desktop you can switch to a 3D world and fly or walk to the place you are about to script. It is for anyone who needs coordinates without starting the game: spawn points, blips, job locations, teleports, zones.

What it is for

Most FiveM configs are full of coordinates. Getting them usually means joining your server, walking to the spot and printing GetEntityCoords. With the map you can pick rough positions for a whole job route in a minute, check the distance between two shops, or look up where a coordinate from a config actually is. For spots where height matters (a roof, under a bridge), use the 3D view or fine tune the z in game.

Quick start

1. Open the tool. On a desktop it starts in the 3D world at Legion Square; press 2D map to see the flat map. On phones and tablets it opens the 2D map.
2. Drag to pan, scroll (or pinch) to zoom. The box in the bottom right corner shows x, y under the cursor, plus z when the ground height there is known.
3. With Drop pins active, click the map. A pin appears and is added to Pins on the right.
4. In the pin card, set heading if you need one, then press vector3 or vector4 to copy the line.
5. Paste it into your script or config.

The 2D map

When you have been in the 3D view, a small white arrow on the 2D map shows where the 3D camera is and which way it looks.

Drop pins

The default tool. Each click drops a pin at that spot with the ground height filled in. If the height is still loading when you click, the z is filled in about a second later. Pins draw a short line in the direction of their heading.

Measure

Switch to Measure and click two or more points. The Measure card shows:

• flat distance: the length of the line on the map, point to point.
• with height: the same route including height differences.
• points: how many points you clicked.

Distances over 1000 m are shown in km. Clear starts over. The measure line stays on the map when you switch back to pins, until you clear it.

Go to a place or coordinates

The search box at the top of the side panel does two things:

• Places: with an empty box you get a list of well known spots (Legion Square, Pillbox Hill Medical, Mission Row Police, Maze Bank Tower roof, Vespucci Beach, Del Perro Pier, Vinewood Sign, LS International Airport, Sandy Shores, Paleto Bay, Mount Chiliad, Fort Zancudo). Type to filter, click one (or press Enter for the first match) to jump there.
• Coordinates: paste a coordinate in any common format, for example vector3(195.2, -933.8, 30.7), vector4(...), {x = ..., y = ..., z = ...} or plain 195.2, -933.8, 30.7. A Go to x, y and pin it button appears. Click it or press Enter to centre the map there and drop a pin, with the heading from a vector4.

This is the quickest way to answer “where is this coordinate from the config?”.

Pins

The Pins card lists every pin with its x, y, z. Pins are saved in your browser, so they are still there next time you open the map.

• Click a pin’s coordinates to centre the map (or the 3D camera) on it.
• Click a pin card to make it active. The active pin is drawn larger on the map.
• The trash icon removes one pin, Clear removes all of them.

The active pin opens its editor:

Share links

A link looks like https://fivemad.com/tools/interactive-map#at=195.2,-933.8,29.7,90&zoom=6. Opening it shows the 2D map centred on that spot and adds a pin labelled Shared (only once, even if you open the link again). Good for pointing a teammate at the exact spot you mean.

The 3D world

Press 3D world (desktop browser with mouse and keyboard) to leave the flat map and move through the world itself. It opens standing at the active pin, or, with no pin selected, above the area you were looking at on the 2D map. In 3D:

• Click the view to look around with the mouse, Esc releases it. Holding the right mouse button also works.
• W A S D move, Shift goes faster, Space up, C down, the mouse wheel sets the flying speed.
• Fly, Walk and Drive switch the movement mode.
• Pin here (bottom left) drops a pin on the ground under the camera, with the camera’s heading. Switch back to 2D map to copy it.
• Picking a place or pasting coordinates in the search box teleports the camera above that spot.

Every key, the drive mode and the quality settings are in the 3D world docs.

Examples

A pin copied as vector4 works straight away as a spawn point:

local spawn = vector4(195.2, -933.8, 29.7, 144.0)

RegisterCommand('legion', function()
    local ped = PlayerPedId()
    SetEntityCoords(ped, spawn.x, spawn.y, spawn.z, false, false, false, false)
    SetEntityHeading(ped, spawn.w)
end, false)

A vector3 for a map blip:

local shop = vector3(25.7, -1347.3, 29.5)

CreateThread(function()
    local blip = AddBlipForCoord(shop.x, shop.y, shop.z)
    SetBlipSprite(blip, 52)
    SetBlipAsShortRange(blip, true)
    BeginTextCommandSetBlipName("STRING")
    AddTextComponentSubstringPlayerName("24/7")
    EndTextCommandSetBlipName(blip)
end)

A list of pins pasted into a config for a job route:

Config.Deliveries = {
    vector3(-1300.0, -1600.0, 3.3),
    vector3(1860.0, 3678.0, 32.5),
    vector3(-287.0, 6220.0, 30.5),
}

Tips

• The z under the cursor is the top surface: ground, road or roof. For a spot under a bridge or inside a building, fix the z by hand or check it in the 3D view.
• GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId()) returns a point about 1 m above the ground (the pelvis). Map pins sit on the ground. For SetEntityCoords either is fine; for props and markers, the ground value is what you want.
• Use the Measure tool to size #(a - b) < radius checks, zones and delivery payouts before you write them.
• Pins are only stored in this browser. Copy what you need, or use Link to move a pin to another device.

Limitations

• Heights are accurate to a few metres. Always check spawn heights on roofs, bridges and stairs in game.
• Cayo Perico and North Yankton are not on the map.
• The 3D view needs a desktop browser with WebGL 2, a mouse and a keyboard. On phones the 2D map works fully.
• Pins, measure points and links stay in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
