the gta 6 minimap should be off by default

A permanent minimap turns a detailed city into a moving arrow exercise. Most players watch the corner of the screen more than the street Rockstar spent years building. Turn it off by default and make directions exist in the world. Street signs, landmarks, the phone, brief route prompts when needed. Players would learn neighborhoods instead of learning colored lines. Yes, some people would enable it immediately. That is fine. Defaults still shape how millions of people experience the opening hours. Make looking at Vice City the normal way to navigate, not the challenge setting.

keep route guidance for missions but let it fade when the road is obvious

a compass plus street names would teach the map without making every trip a memory test

i will enable it after missing the same exit twice and then pretend i resisted
