Black FiveM-compatible minimap — google style

Pure monochrome. Deep black land, cool steel water and white arterials — the safest choice when your HUD already carries a lot of colour. A Google-Maps-style street map as the source: road classes, water, parks and beaches are segmented from its own colours, then re-lit with the elevation relief of the base map — the densest, most detailed style in the shop.

Which servers run this one

Whitelisted roleplay servers with a heavily customised HUD, and combat servers whose overlays are already colour coded. If you are unsure what to pick and your UI is busy, this is the safe answer.

The google style base map, explained

A Google-Maps-style colour street map is used as the source. Road classes, water, parks, beaches and built-up blocks are segmented out of its own colours, then re-lit with the elevation data of the base map so it gets the same hillshade, bathymetric depth and glowing coastline as the other two builds.

The same black palette is also built on postal codes and no postals, so you can switch base map without changing the look of your server.

Obsidian as a street map

The Google-style source brings parks, beaches and building blocks with it, and on this palette they sit as barely-lighter shapes on the black ground. The city gains structure without gaining colour, which keeps the monochrome character intact.

Street names are denser here than in the other two builds, so this is the Obsidian variant for servers whose players navigate by name. On a busy HUD it is worth checking the radar at your real size first, because every side street is labelled.

The black palette at a glance

Freeways in #FFFFFF, coastline in #EEF3F9, deep water in #04060A and labels in #C6CEDB. Every layer value, and the same palette on all three base maps side by side, is on the Black OBSIDIAN palette page.

How this map is rendered

The black build is rendered from a 12288 × 18432 master and resampled to the 6144 × 9216 texture the game streams, with water depth, coastline, relief, three road tiers and labels coloured as separate layers. How the game cuts that texture into radar tiles is covered in the guide to FiveM map tiles and radar textures.

What is in the download

One folder named pityus_minimap_black_google, 78 stream files, roughly 113 MB of VRAM in game — identical to the stock GTA V map, so there is no performance cost to switching.

Cayo Perico in the same palette — optional, $1.00

Cayo Perico uses its own texture, so a new Los Santos minimap leaves the island on the stock art. The black add-on renders the island in the same OBSIDIAN palette and ships as a second folder, pityus_minimap_cayo_black_google, with a ready-to-run island loader in script.lua. The Cayo Perico minimap guide explains how the island radar is loaded.

How to install the black minimap on a FiveM server

└─ [standalone]/
   └─ pityus_minimap_black_google/

server.cfg:  ensure pityus_minimap_black_google

1. Unzip pityus_minimap_black_google into your resources folder and keep the folder name.
2. Add ensure pityus_minimap_black_google to server.cfg, above your HUD resources.
3. Stop any other minimap resource, clear the client cache and reconnect.

The full installation guide covers txAdmin and replacing an existing map, and minimap not showing lists the usual causes in order.

Framework and map compatibility

The resource only replaces textures and radar zoom data, so it has no framework dependency: it runs unchanged on QBCore, QBox, ESX Legacy, vRP and standalone servers. MLOs and map add-ons are untouched, which is covered in minimaps for servers with MLOs; if you are editing the world itself, see interiors and IPLs, removing map props and map editing in CodeWalker.

Brand it with your own logo

Open this map in the studio to add a logo or server name before you download, or read how the minimap editor works.

What people come here looking for

Most people arrive at this page after deciding one of three things. They want a custom FiveM-compatible minimap instead of the stock one and are picking a colour; they already know the colour and are choosing between a map with postal codes baked in and one with street names only; or they are comparing this against the Google-style street map, which segments its roads from a real street map rather than the game's own art.

The rest is usually practical. The black palette on all three base maps is worth a look before you commit, the readability question for streamers comes up constantly, and if your server runs the island, the Cayo Perico map is the matching add-on for $1.00. If the map is already installed and not appearing, the causes are known and in order.
