GTA 6 map filters: show only the districts you need

How district filters, zone isolate, and category toggles keep the Vice City Studio map readable on phone and desktop.

ATLAS Scout filters and landmark pins with district controls
Filters exist so you are not forced to stare at every pin at once — especially on the wide Leonida board.

Why the board needs filters

The companion plots a large landmark set. Without filters, Ocean Beach alone can bury downtown, and the Keys sit far from Port Gellhorn. Filters and district isolate are the readable path — not a smaller fake map.

Turn on the districts you care about. When a district is active, the region meter shows found versus total for that zone. Isolate this zone hides the rest while you finish a neighborhood.

Filters before closest-path

Closest-path builds a short route across remaining visible pins. If everything is visible, the route tries to be honest about a huge set and becomes noisy. Filter first, then plot.

Mark as found removes pins from that remaining count. Progress is local to your device. Spoiler-masked island cards are a separate control — filters do not auto-reveal them.

Isolate a beach district, mark finds, then widen filters again — a better loop than dumping every pin.

Pair filters with guides

District guides tell you density before you open the board. Search-intent pages for Vice Beach, Hamlet, Key Lento, and others name a few real places so you know what filter you are aiming at.

Creators: tell viewers which filter to leave on before you zoom. That is kinder than a surprise full-pin dump mid-video.

Questions

What does isolate this zone do?
It focuses the board on the active district so other zones get out of the way while you mark finds or plan a short route.
Do filters sync across devices?
Found marks can optionally sync when signed in. Treat filter choices as session UI on the device you are using.
Will filters show official collectible types?
Filters work on the companion’s landmark and district data. They are not Rockstar’s official collectible categories.
