**Short answer.** Call `GetNameOfZone(x, y, z)` to get a zone code such as `LEGSQU`, then map it to a readable name with the table below (`LEGSQU` → Legion Square). For street names use `GetStreetNameAtCoord`, which returns hashes you convert with `GetStreetNameFromHashKey`. Update the display on a timer, not every frame.

## Key points

- `GetNameOfZone` returns a **code** (e.g. `PBOX`), not a readable name.
- There are 93 zone codes; the table maps each to its district.
- `GetStreetNameAtCoord` gives the street and crossing street hashes.
- Update area and street text about once a second.
- Postal codes add precision that zone names cannot — see the postal guide.

Every point on the GTA V map belongs to a zone — Legion Square, Sandy Shores, Paleto Bay — and the game returns a short code for it rather than the readable name. HUDs, dispatch alerts and loading-screen tips all need the readable version. This page lists every zone code with its district name, taken from the Cfx zone reference, and shows how to turn a position into “Pillbox Hill, Alta St”.

## Area and street name for a HUD

*client.lua*

```lua
local ZONES = {
    LEGSQU = 'Legion Square', PBOX = 'Pillbox Hill', SANDY = 'Sandy Shores',
    PALETO = 'Paleto Bay', DOWNT = 'Downtown', -- …the rest from the table below
}

CreateThread(function()
    while true do
        local pos = GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId())
        local code = GetNameOfZone(pos.x, pos.y, pos.z)
        local area = ZONES[code] or code

        local streetHash, crossHash = GetStreetNameAtCoord(pos.x, pos.y, pos.z)
        local street = GetStreetNameFromHashKey(streetHash)
        local cross = crossHash ~= 0 and GetStreetNameFromHashKey(crossHash) or nil

        -- send to your HUD only when it changes
        print(area, street, cross)
        Wait(1000)
    end
end)
```

The game also has display labels for each zone that `GetLabelText(code)` can resolve in the player’s language; a table like the one below gives you full control over the wording.

## Every zone code (93)

Codes and names from the Cfx zone reference. Some names appear twice because the game uses two codes for the same district (for example `DELSOL` and `LOSPUER` are both La Puerta).

## Where zone names are useful

- **HUD**: area and street under the minimap.
- **Dispatch**: “Shots fired in Strawberry, Grove St” plus a [postal code](https://fam-tools.com/guides/postal-codes-explained).
- **Rich Presence**: “Driving in Vinewood” on the player’s Discord status.
- **Jobs and events**: pick delivery destinations by district.

Coordinates themselves are explained in [GTA V map coordinates](https://fam-tools.com/guides/gta-5-map-coordinates).
