Overworld Maps Red Dead 2
Paper map.
Real roads.
Red Dead 2's map on the streets around you: parchment and ink, dotted railways, pencil place names, hatched forest and a red trail to follow.
How it looks,
and why
Red Dead Redemption 2's map looks drawn by hand, so Overworld treats your city the same way. Roads are inked, service roads and trails are dashed, railways are dotted, forest is hatched and place names are lettered in ink and pencil.
The palette follows the game's own map: parchment #DEC29B, ink #40423D, water #9E9985, and route and waypoint in the game's red, #CC0000. It's seen from straight above, like the game's minimap, so nothing tilts away from you.
- The map
- Parchment and ink with a light paper grain. Hatched forest, stippled parks, dashed trails and dotted railways.
- The route
- A red trail inked inside the road. The road already driven disappears behind the marker.
- The camera
- Flat, straight above, like the game's minimap. The map still pulls back on fast roads and comes in before a turn.
- The bridges
- A surveyor's bridge: the road in a band of bare paper with an ink parapet along each side.
- The marker
- An off-white teardrop with no ring, like the game's marker when you're riding.
- The HUD
- Red Dead menus and cards on the car screen and the phone, with the speed-limit sign as a parchment stamp.

Saint Denis is modelled on New Orleans, so the French Quarter is a good first stop. This is the app's real map style, running in your browser.
GTA V
GTA V's pause map on real roads. Near-black land, flat grey roads and one purple route, seen from the radar's gentle tilt.

GTA VI
GTA VI's minimap on real roads. Raised buildings at their real heights, broad roads with lane dashes, and a pink route that fades in just ahead of the marker.

About this
world
Is this the actual Red Dead 2 map?
No. The roads are real, from OpenStreetMap. Only the look comes from the game, so the map shows your own town, not New Hanover.
Can I use a Red Dead 2 map on Android Auto?
Yes. Overworld Maps runs on the Android Auto screen as a navigation app, and the Red Dead 2 look is one of its three worlds.
Why doesn't this world tilt?
The game's minimap is flat, so this world is too. GTA V and GTA VI tilt because their minimaps do.
