Gray FiveM-compatible minimap — no postals

A neutral graphite base that sits under any server identity without fighting it. The default pick for whitelisted roleplay servers. The postal grid is removed and the ocean rebuilt underneath it, leaving street names only. Made for servers that draw their own postal codes on top, or simply want a calmer minimap.

How the gray palette reads in game

Terrain relief survives better here than in the pure monochrome build, because there is enough mid-tone left for the hillshade to live in. You get readable topography and readable roads at the same time, which is a harder balance than it sounds.

Worth knowing before you buy: It is deliberately unspectacular. If you want the minimap itself to be part of the server identity, one of the coloured palettes will do more for you.

The no postals base map, explained

The trade-off: Players with no postal script running have nothing to call in. Check what your dispatch actually uses before choosing this one. The same gray palette is also built on postal codes and google style, so you can switch base map without changing the look of your server.

Graphite without postal codes

With the grid removed, the hillshade becomes the second layer players notice, so Vinewood Hills, the Tataviam range and Mount Chiliad read as terrain rather than as empty grey space.

It is the build to pick when a server has invested in its own HUD and colour language and wants the minimap to be good-looking background rather than a feature.

The gray palette at a glance

Freeways in #F4F7FB, coastline in #D5DCE5, deep water in #0D1013 and labels in #D2D8E1. Every layer value, and the same palette on all three base maps side by side, is on the Gray GRAPHITE palette page.

How this map is rendered

The gray 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_gray_clean, 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 gray add-on renders the island in the same GRAPHITE palette and ships as a second folder, pityus_minimap_cayo_gray_clean, 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 gray minimap on a FiveM server

resources/
└─ [standalone]/
   └─ pityus_minimap_gray_clean/

server.cfg:  ensure pityus_minimap_gray_clean

1. Unzip pityus_minimap_gray_clean into your resources folder and keep the folder name.
2. Add ensure pityus_minimap_gray_clean 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 gray 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.
