The briefing
The rural northern region of GTA V contrasts with Los Santos through desert, mountains, small settlements and long highways.
Sandy Shores and its airfield are central to Trevor’s early activities. The Alamo Sea, surrounding roads and Mount Chiliad create routes where aircraft and off-road vehicles can be more useful than a low sports car.
The countryside has its own landmarks and activity patterns. A straight route across the map can cross a mountain or body of water, so choose transport based on the terrain rather than distance alone.
