The pause map

The frame shows Vice City from directly above: building roofs, pool decks, marina berths and the pattern of sand between beach umbrellas. Vice's collation of the same day's previews describes the map as satellite-style imagery in place of a basic road design.

• Photographic ground instead of flat colour blocks
• Roads drawn over the imagery, not instead of it
• It doubles as the clearest measure of the map's scale so far
• Rockstar has published no map image of its own

A photographic map is a different tool: you navigate by recognising places rather than by reading a diagram, which fits a game that also took the police off the minimap.
