The “largest” label measures disclosed terrain area. It does not prove that every square kilometer is traversable, that travel takes a specific number of minutes, or that Nasdara contains more loot locations than Chernarus. Roads, elevation, water scarcity, spawn distribution, vehicles, and usable interiors can change the practical size.
Official screenshots show desert roads, dense settlements, industrial sites, and broad exposed terrain. They do not provide a final interactive map. Coordinates, wells, military loot paths, bunker locations, base-building positions, and shortest routes therefore remain unverified until the retail map is available.
This page will keep the permanent size and location record separate from future route guides. That prevents work-in-progress scenery or trailer cuts from being mislabeled as a complete map.
