Hello everyone!

Today I am bringing you yet another postal code map! I have used the great DLK FiveM Map to create a postal map.

Here is how the map is laid out:

Here are some screenshots of the map:

Changelog:

  • 1.1 - Added remaining PD, Fire, and Hospital badges
  • 1.1.1 - Added full size PNG version for dispatchers/CAD use
  • 1.2 - Added minimap support, modified for server-side only (no client-side meta needed)
  • 1.3 - Released full Photoshop files

With update 1.3, you will find a new link to download the raw Photoshop files for the map, including everything I have made. Feel free to customize it as you like, I am comfortable with you releasing your own version with credit. In the Photoshop files, you will find I fixed some items (Paleto Blvd, Removed PD/FD Icons). I will warn you that the Photoshop file is very large, and can be extremely resource-intensive. I recommend hiding the text fields if you open it.

Full size PNG version available here

Raw map files available here

Huge shoutout to @DementedDude for allowing me to use his minimap script!

@KekkoITA has released a fix for the blurry postal codes when zooming in, which you can find here:

I am sorry I have been out of the community for many years, but I am so humbly grateful for how popular this map has become. I am glad the community enjoys it, I was just some kid who made it for his own tiny RP server. Unfortunately, I will not be able to maintain this map anymore, which is why I have released the .PSDs for everyone. I apologize that it took so long. Thank you so much to this community and the friends and people I have met, I wish you all the best.

Thank you and enjoy!

Very Very Very Nice! Love the individual Postals all over. Super helpful for LEO!

Thank you very much! I appreciate that as a ton of work went into this!

Thank you everyone for the positive feedback! Makes me so happy to know my time was well spent. Enjoy the map, watch for updates. Thanks again! :grinning:

Yes, every postal code was typed with my own two hands.

How would I make my own? I tried Photoshop but can’t do those files the postal code needs to be

You need the Nvidia DDS plugin for photoshop.

Something that would be really cool is if you add (in some point on a corner) a key that shows what is what, ex
1000 - Paleto Bay & Mt. Chiliad
2000 - Grapeseed & etc.
3000 - Sandy Shores & etc.
4000 - Harmony & Rt. 68
5000 - Zancudo AFB & Los Santos County
6000 - Vinewood
7000 - Rockford Hills & etc.
8000 - Los Santos Middle etc…
9000 - Los Santos Lower etc…
10000 - Ports…

Just some key that list’s the locations shown in em (would go in to more detail but not in game)

But no matter, cool map!

That is a great idea! I will do that for the next update. Would you have a preference of where the key would go or how it would look?

I would like it in the bottom right, (just a common area in my opinion), but I have no preference.
Also please make sure you add more locations then just that of what I posted, I can get all of the major area’s if you want (in like an hour or so)

Also, for dispatchers if you could post a full size map? Like the one with color but without it

This is good, but c’mon a postal for every footstep you take? jesus!

Accuracy is everything, especially in an emergency situation. The more precise location an officer/civ can give dispatch, the more efficiently dispatch can do their job.

At least, that is my thinking behind it :slight_smile:

Awesome Map In the next update it would be awesome to see the following
on the interstates/us routes have an i con on them and mile markers

aerosmith-route-logo-vector-png-route-66-logo-vector-289blank-american-interstate-highway-sign-260nw-179266112download

to replace the colors letter etc

Wow. This map is so detailed with how many postal numbers it offers! Great Work!

I would like to see you add in Markings for the Fire Stations, but also, marking out all of the PD and Hospitals. Looked like a few were missed but no worries. Just kinda helpful to have those around for some people that are forgetful sometimes… haha…

I would also suggest from Collin and those highway markings. Would add that next layer to it!
I would also like to suggest the addition of more highway markings into the heart of the city, as there are some locations that are not near a city street postal and can only be described by the conformation of the road.

Is there a way to stream this to the HUD minimap? That would be amazing!

I found an error in the map. The hospital marker you have at 8038 is not a hospital. The actual hospital there is at 8040.

There are plenty of other variations of the DOJ map in circulation, if you prefer those no worries, but I wont be redoing all the postals/addresses. If you are looking for a “less dense” version so to say, check out this one. :slight_smile:

I wish! #iMissGTA4

Yes, I am aware and that will be fixed next update. Thank you!

Thank you so much, glad you enjoy it! The remaining markings will be added this weekend in the next update! Been a little too busy to get around to it, but it is coming!

Yes! This is a great idea. I will look into this! Glad you enjoy the map :slight_smile:

Quick suggestion, but maybe do the files in a way so that they may be implemented onto a Live map server? As of now, I cannot do that.

I’m not quite sure what you mean. How would I go about that? (I am not very familiar with live maps)

While I think postal up over 10000 may be a little much however it’s different. Not everything has to be like DOJ’s. Thrive to be something else and not just a carbon copy server like the rest. With that said the people over in mine enjoy the maps personally and like how detailed it is as @Virus_City stated it gives an accurate idea where you are for let’s say a panic button.

To each their own but I enjoy it and seems others do as well. :slight_smile:

Right now, you have what, 5 .png’s? Live map requires around 1300 :open_mouth: in order for them to work appropriately. The resource is here and the map images can be found here

im not saying it has to be like doj, im saying use them for inspiration, those postals just look disgusting.

If you don’t like it then stop complaining and don’t use it. If you want one that is inspired by DOJRP then make one yourself.

Yeah, I really did not want to go to the 10,000’s but how I formatted it, it left me with no choice. I would like to go back and revisit it but that will not happen for a while. Glad you enjoy the map :slight_smile:

Holy crap! That is a lot of tiles. I will look into it this weekend though, thank you for providing links :slight_smile:

I apologize that you do not like the map, I understand that. But please do not continue to be rude, there are plenty of maps out there, to each their own. (again, you can find a DOJ-like map here, or if you want another one check here)

Absolutely my good sir.

does this have to installed server side for it to work? i have done my side of it but doesnt work…

I believe so, most maps are server side. The installation is very simple, the included read me goes over it. You just stream the map files over your server, then distribute that mapzoomdata.meta file to members, and have them install it where the read me specifies.

I’ve been having a problem with postal code maps and that is that the map is super bad quality when ingame. Do you know any fix for this or have any clues what to do?
