Orange FiveM-compatible minimap — google style

The classic amber glow — warm, cinematic and the closest thing to a house style for GTA roleplay. 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

General-purpose roleplay servers, and the most common pick overall. If you want a map that simply looks good in a trailer and a screenshot, start here.

The google style base map, explained

It is by far the densest build in the shop: every named street, every park, every service road. Servers whose players navigate by street name rather than by postal number get materially more out of it than out of the stock map.

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

Ember as a street map

On the Google-style source Ember gets parks, beaches and a full named street layer, which makes it the warm alternative to a navigation app look.

It is a strong pick for civilian roleplay built around businesses and addresses, where finding a named street matters more than a postal number.

The orange palette at a glance

Freeways in #FFB371, coastline in #FF9440, deep water in #050403 and labels in #DDD2C4. Every layer value, and the same palette on all three base maps side by side, is on the Orange EMBER palette page.

How this map is rendered

The orange 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_orange_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 orange add-on renders the island in the same EMBER palette and ships as a second folder, pityus_minimap_cayo_orange_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 orange minimap on a FiveM server

resources/
└─ [standalone]/
   └─ pityus_minimap_orange_google/

server.cfg:  ensure pityus_minimap_orange_google

1. Unzip pityus_minimap_orange_google into your resources folder and keep the folder name.
2. Add ensure pityus_minimap_orange_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 orange 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.
