Sons of the Forest is here, but there is no large map, with the help of GPS Guided has uncovered and mapped the entire map for you. We have also calculated the map size of Sons of The Forest.
What is it about? In Sons of The Forest, there is no map to help you find your way around the new, much larger game world. Instead, you get a GPS device, which you can zoom in and out by pressing the middle mouse button. Problem: This GPS only shows a small part of the whole map. We have uncovered the entire map for you in several hours and put it together for you!

With our calculations, we come to the map size of 9.00 km² (square kilometers) in Sons of The Forest and a side length of about 3,000 meters by 3,000 meters -- In our calculation exactly 2,920 meters per side.
Calculated the map size of Sons of The Forest and rounded it up to a more correct number.
This is how we proceeded: We calculated the size of the map in Sons of The Forest, for this we did a lot of research, calculations, and tinkering. First, we needed a unit of measurement, difficult since we are in the forest without man-made objects -- But wait! We came to the island with one, the helicopter! So we took a close look at the helicopter at the crash site and researched which model it was. Clear answer: Airbus H135 and which is 12.19 meters long (via wikipedia.org).
However, the helicopter at the crash is dented, bent, and broken. So we built a straight line out of sticks, this can be done with the help of stick paths. Granted, we probably added or took away a few inches here and there. Steps counted along the helicopter: 12 steps, roughly one-meter step length.
On to the beach, looking for a flat area without hills or obstacles -- and found it. Here we made out two fixed points and watched the GPS at the same zoom level and angle. After 80 steps, the beach was over. Superimposed images, measured pixel by pixel, then calculated the distance. 80 meters, 20% on it -- you get the idea. Any questions left? Write us a comment!
Here we measure the run distance pixel by pixel.
