GTA Vice City Map

What the Vice City map covers

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City (2002) is set in 1986 in a neon-soaked Miami stand-in on the Florida coast. Oriented with north at the top, the poster shows two long landmasses—the western mainland and the eastern barrier beach—separated by Ocean Bay and linked by a chain of smaller islands.

The mainland

The western landmass forms the industrial and working-class mainland. Downtown occupies its northern tip, with Hyman Memorial Stadium jutting out at the northwest corner. Heading south from Downtown takes you through Little Haiti and Little Havana down to the shipping piers of Viceport (spelled Vice Port on the poster). Along the western edge, Fort Baxter Air Base and Escobar International Airport stretch all the way to the southwest corner of the sheet.

The beach

The eastern landmass is a long barrier island bordered by a wide oceanfront beach. Vice Point covers the northern half and includes North Point Mall and The Malibu club, Washington Beach sits in the middle around the Washington Mall, and Ocean Beach anchors the Art Deco southern tip where Tommy Vercetti's first safehouse—the Ocean View Hotel—and the coastal lighthouse stand.

The islands in the bay

Three smaller island complexes dot Ocean Bay between the two main halves of the city. Prawn Island in the north houses the InterGlobal Films studio lot and carries the northernmost cross-bay road between Downtown and Vice Point. Just south of it, the manicured fairways of the Leaf Links golf club span a cluster of green islands off Vice Point, while oval Starfish Island sits in the center of the bay around the estate labeled "The Coke Baron's Mansion."

How the islands connect

Because Vice City has no rail or subway network, all cross-town travel runs over four road bridges spanning Ocean Bay. Reading from north to south, those crossings link Downtown through Prawn Island to Vice Point, Little Haiti past Leaf Links to Vice Point, Little Havana across Starfish Island to Washington Beach, and Little Havana directly to southern Washington Beach. At the start of the story, an incoming hurricane warning closes all four bridges to the mainland, confining early missions to the eastern beach island.

How this map is drawn

This page presents Rockstar's portrait-format Paper map poster edge to edge. The upper two-thirds of the sheet displays the city itself, with each neighborhood shaded in a distinct pastel or neon hue—from golden yellow in Downtown to deep crimson in Little Havana—and labeled in bold white italic lettering. Crisp white roadways cut across the color blocks, colorful callout tags name individual hotels, businesses, and landmarks, and an A–H by 1–6 reference grid frames the border.

Along the bottom third of the poster, the hot-pink "Vice City Sights" panel serves as a visual legend, pairing shop and service icons with small in-game screenshots for Pay 'n' Spray, clothing stores, The Malibu, Ammu-Nation, Bunch of Tools, hospitals, pharmacies, police stations, and Hyman Memorial Stadium, flanked by a Sponsors strip and the Vice City logo.

While the two Vice City posters on GTAMap share the same portrait layout and grid coordinates, the Vice City Stories map swaps in new district colors, boxed business labels, and a yellow newspaper-style legend. Unlike our GTA San Andreas map, which adds satellite and vector road views, this page features Rockstar's poster alone because no freely licensed orthographic or vector map exists for 1986 Vice City.

Tips for reading the map

When the page opens, the viewport centers on the city grid in the upper portion of the tall sheet; zoom out a step or drag the canvas upward to inspect the "Vice City Sights" legend at the bottom. Zooming all the way in reaches the poster's full 2,036 by 3,200 pixel resolution so even the smallest storefront tags are easy to read. The readout shows game X/Y coordinates for the point under the cursor. You can also use the border grid (such as E3–E4 for Starfish Island or A1–A2 for Hyman Memorial Stadium) and match the round map badges against the Sights panel below.

Markers on the map

The layers list holds all 100 Hidden Packages, the 36 Unique Stunt Jumps and the 35 Rampages, numbered as in GTA Wiki's location tables. It also shows the nine safehouses, seven of the assets, the four Pay 'n' Spray garages and the three Ammu-Nation stores. The collectible positions come from GTA Wiki's interactive maps (CC BY-SA 3.0). We aligned them to game coordinates through the game's radar map and checked each one against the wiki's separate per-location map images: 145 of the 171 collectibles and Rampages agree within 20 m. Some locations use teleport points from v-essentials (MIT). Pins we could only place from labels on the poster are marked as approximate. The poster itself is fitted to game coordinates with a typical error of 13 m.

Vice City and Vice City Stories

This same 3D-era city returns in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, a prequel set two years earlier in 1984. Because the coastline and street network remain nearly identical, the two posters can be compared grid cell by grid cell. The 1986 poster reflects Tommy Vercetti's era: the centerpiece estate on Starfish Island is labeled "The Coke Baron's Mansion," Phil Cassidy operates Phil's Place in Little Haiti, and both the Washington Mall and Kaufman Cabs appear as established landmarks.

Vice City first debuted as a top-down city in the original 1997 Grand Theft Auto, and Rockstar is returning to the setting on a modern scale in Grand Theft Auto VI.

Map imagery and credits

The imagery on this page comes from Rockstar Games' official Vice City poster map. On December 21, 2012, Rockstar published high-resolution copies of its GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas maps on the Rockstar Newswire for fans to download and print. Because Rockstar's original link to the Vice City JPG no longer works, we built our five-level tile pyramid from the Internet Archive Wayback Machine snapshot of that exact file without altering the artwork.

Marker positions and totals come from GTA Wiki (CC BY-SA 3.0). Some locations use Vice City teleport points from VortrexFTW/v-essentials (MIT), and the radar map scale in huncrys/vcmp-livemap (MIT) was used to align the wiki map with game coordinates. The descriptions on each marker are our own.

While our GTA San Andreas map also incorporates Ian Albert's aerial and radar maps and Toliak's San-Andreas-vector-map (Apache-2.0), the imagery on this page is Rockstar's official poster alone.
