If you've ever wanted your daily commute to feel like a Grand Theft Auto mission, this app delivers exactly that. Game Maps IRL overlays iconic video game maps onto your real-world navigation, making even a trip to the grocery store feel epic. It’s a clever twist on traditional GPS that gamers and nostalgia lovers will appreciate.

My Full Experience

I’ve been testing Game Maps IRL for a few weeks now, and it’s honestly one of those apps that just makes you smile. The core idea is simple but brilliant: it takes well-known game maps—like GTA V, San Andreas, and others—and aligns them with your actual location. Driving around Los Angeles with the GTA V map active genuinely changes how you experience the city. You start recognizing landmarks from the game, and it adds a layer of fun to otherwise mundane trips. Where the app really shines is its attention to visual style. The maps aren’t just generic overlays—they mimic the original games’ aesthetics, from the color palettes to the typography. It’s clear the developers put effort into making it feel authentic. That said, there are a few limitations. The free version only shows your location on the game map without turn-by-turn navigation, which is reserved for the premium tier. And while the subscription isn’t cheap, it does unlock features like custom waypoints and more game maps. I’d love to see CarPlay integration in the future—imagine having the GTA map on your dashboard during a road trip. Still, even as it is, this app is a blast for gamers who want to mix a bit of virtual adventure into their real-life routines.

I rated five stars so everyone would see and I checked it out and I’m using the gta San Andreas style map and it’s all perfect though it could be more than just an empty map besides your home location and not only that but 7.99 a month? I mean I’d pay if it never ran out but just for a month is just insane even the gta games on here which I would much rather pay for than premium on here keep your purchase so you always own it! Look I get paying for it but I feel like if you pay for it once you own it this isn’t some battle pass I can get Spotify premium cheaper!
