What is RDR2 Map?
RDR2 Map is a browser-based interactive map for Red Dead Redemption 2. It plots hundreds of in-game locations and collectibles onto a zoomable map, so you can find things by category instead of hunting through guides or wandering the world.
Its main value is filtering. You can show or hide whole categories and track what you have already found.
What you can locate
- Collectibles: Cigarette Cards, Dinosaur Bones, Dreamcatchers, Rock Carvings, Graves, Treasure maps and more
- Pickups: weapons, loot, items, wild horses
- Online content: Harrietum, Hideouts, Online Treasure, Campfires, Legendary Animals
- Amenities: shops, butchers, doctors, stables, train stations, fast travel points
- Events and minigames: Gang Hideouts, Random Events, Strangers, Poker, Dominoes, Blackjack
- Other: Easter Eggs, Landmarks, Cheat Codes, Madam Nazar's item sets
Practical uses
- Completionists can work region by region and tick off collectibles without missing a category.
- Online players can filter to Online-only markers to plan role activities such as collecting or hunting.
- Players who dislike spoilers can hide story-related categories and show only shops, stables and travel points.
- The distance and sniping radius tools help judge ranges before you commit to an approach.
Trade-offs
The map is dense. With every category switched on, the icons overlap and it becomes hard to read, so start with one or two categories at a time. The progress tracker is only as good as your own discipline: it does not know what you have collected in-game, so you must mark items yourself. The site is supported by ads, and there is an optional Pro upgrade that removes them and adds extra features. If you only need a handful of locations, a plain text guide may be faster than learning the interface.
Next step
Open the map and hide everything except the one category you are chasing, for example Dinosaur Bones or Online Treasure. Use the search box for a specific item name, then mark each find as you go. If you also play the original game, the same site now offers an RDR1 map.
How do I use the progress tracker to keep track of collectibles I've found?
The progress tracker on RDR2 Map works by letting you mark each map entry as found, so the map itself becomes your checklist. You filter the map down to a category—say Cigarette Cards or Dinosaur Bones—click the icons you've already collected, and those entries are recorded as done. Switching the map between "Show All" and "Hide All" then lets you see only what's left.
A practical routine
- Open the map and pick one collectible category rather than viewing everything at once.
- Use the search box to jump to a specific item name or number if you know what you're missing.
- Mark items as you find them, ideally right after each play session while locations are fresh.
- Toggle collected items off so the remaining icons stand out as your to-do list.
- Check the category counter—for example, Cigarette Card 144 or Dinosaur Bone 30—to see how close you are to completion.
Why the category counts matter
The numbers shown next to each heading are totals, not progress. They tell you the scale of a collection before you commit: 144 cigarette cards is a long-term background task, while 9 graves or 5 hunting requests are short, finishable lists. Use them to decide what to tackle in one sitting versus what to chip away at over many sessions.
Trade-offs to know
The tracker is manual, so its accuracy depends entirely on you remembering to mark things. It also lives in the browser, so if you play across sessions without returning to the same map state, you may need to re-check your entries. The site notes that an upgrade removes ads and adds extra features, which matters mainly if ad clutter interrupts your marking flow—not because tracking itself requires it.
A concrete scenario
If you're hunting the 30 dinosaur bones, filter to that category, mark the ones you've already dug up, then plan a route through the remaining icons by region. The distance measurement and sniping radius tools help when a bone sits near a vantage point or a hostile camp. Pair the tracker with a guide for the trickier finds; Red Dead Wiki covers individual collectible locations and prerequisites in prose form, which the map alone doesn't explain.
Next step
Pick your smallest unfinished category—Grave 9 or Hunting Request 5—clear it completely using the filter-and-mark method, and see whether the routine feels natural before applying it to the 3,420 plants or the Madam Nazar sets.
Can I filter the map to show only Online locations and activities?
Yes. RDR2 Map separates its content into modes, and one of them is Online. Selecting the Online tab narrows the map to multiplayer locations and activities rather than the story-mode world.
What the Online view covers
Based on the site's own category list, the Online set includes:
- Campfire (30)
- Harrietum (35)
- Hideout, Online (27)
- Legendary Animal (29)
- Treasure, Online (117)
- Treasure Hunter (9)
- Treasure Map (21)
What sits outside that filter
Story-mode categories are listed separately, so they won't appear when you're in the Online view: Cigarette Cards, Dinosaur Bones, Dreamcatchers, Graves, Legendary Fish, Rock Carvings, and the main Treasure set, among others. Amenities such as Butchers, Fences, Gunsmiths, Post Offices and Stables are grouped under their own heading, so check whether they carry over to the Online tab or need to be toggled on separately.
How to use it
If you play Red Dead Online and want a clean map for a collecting run — Harrietum plants or Online treasures, for instance — switch to the Online tab and turn off anything you don't need. The site also provides a filter panel and a progress tracker, so you can hide what you've already found instead of scanning a cluttered map.
One practical caveat: the counts shown are fixed totals, and Online content changes with Rockstar's updates. Treat the numbers as a snapshot rather than a guarantee that every current spawn is listed.
Next step
Open the map, select Online, then enable only the two or three categories relevant to your session. If you also want story collectibles visible at the same time, you'll likely need to switch back to the main view rather than blend the two.
For story-mode completion, RDR2 Map remains the more useful mode; for multiplayer grinding, the Online filter is the one to start from.
How do I embed the RDR2 interactive map on my own website?
Use the Embed Map control on RDR2 Map to copy the provided embed code, then paste it into your site's HTML where you want the map to appear.
Steps
- Open the interactive map and locate the Embed Map option (the page shows an "Embed Map ×" panel).
- Click it to reveal the embed code, then use Copy Embed Code.
- Paste the snippet into your page's HTML at the insertion point — a blog post body, a guide page, or a dedicated tools page.
- Load the page and confirm the map renders, pans and zooms as expected.
Practical notes
- The embed is a live interactive map, not a static screenshot, so visitors can pan, filter and use tools like the distance measurement and sniping radius tools without leaving your site.
- The site also offers an ad-supported free view and an upgrade option to remove ads and unlock extra features; the embed panel sits alongside that upgrade prompt, so expect the embedded view to inherit whatever ad behaviour applies to non-upgraded users.
- Category filters (Collectibles, Pickups, Online, Amenities, Events, Madam Nazar's Items, and so on) are dense. An embedded map is best placed on a page where the map is the content, rather than squeezed into a narrow sidebar.
Who this suits A fan-site owner building a collectibles checklist, or a guide writer who wants readers to jump straight from a written route to the exact map location. If your audience mainly wants a static route image, a screenshot is lighter and avoids third-party scripts; if they want to search 144 cigarette cards or 3,420 plants themselves, the embed earns its place.
Decision criterion Embed it when interactivity is the point and your page can give the map real width. If you only need to illustrate one location, link out instead.
Next step After pasting the code, test on mobile — panning and filter taps are where embedded maps usually break.
What features do I get with RDR2 Map Pro and is it worth upgrading?
RDR2 Map Pro is the paid tier of the rdr2map.com interactive map. The site's own prompt frames it as an ad-removal upgrade that also adds "extra features," but the public page doesn't itemize what those extras are — so treat the exact Pro feature list as something to verify on the upgrade page before paying.

What the free map already does
The free interactive map is genuinely comprehensive, which matters when judging the upgrade:
- Collectibles tracking: Cigarette Cards (144), Dinosaur Bones (30), Dreamcatchers (20), Rock Carvings (10), Graves, Hunting Requests, Exotics, and full sets of Madam Nazar's items (Arrowheads, Coins, Fossils, Tarot cards, Jewelry).
- Pickups: Weapons, items, loot, and Wild Horses.
- Online content: Online Treasure Maps, Hideouts, Legendary Animals, Campfires, and Harrietum.
- Amenities: Fast Travel points, butchers, fences, gunsmiths, general stores, post offices, stables, trappers, and more.
- Events and minigames: Gang Hideouts, Random Events (396 of them), Strangers, Poker, Blackjack, Dominoes, Five Finger Fillet.
- Tools: A progress tracker, distance measurement, and a sniping-radius overlay with 50m increments.
- Embedding: A copy-paste embed code for putting the map on your own site.
The trade-off
If you're using the map as a completion checklist across a long playthrough, ads are the main friction — that's the clearest stated benefit. The "extra features" claim is vague, so the honest answer is: upgrade for ad removal if the ads bother you, and check the upgrade page for the specific Pro tools before assuming they exist.
A practical test
Play for a week with the free map and the progress tracker on. If you find yourself filtering the same categories repeatedly or getting interrupted by ads mid-collection run, the upgrade earns its place. If you only consult the map occasionally for a single treasure or Fast Travel point, the free version covers it.
Similar interactive-map options exist for other large open-world games — for example, MapGenie hosts comparable tracker maps across many titles, which is useful if you want the same workflow elsewhere.
How can I use the distance measurement and sniping radius tools to plan routes or shots?
Use the distance measurement tool to check travel legs, and the sniping radius tool to check whether a shot is inside a workable range before you commit to a position. Both are planning aids inside the interactive map, not in-game instruments, so treat their readouts as estimates you then verify in game.
Distance measurement: route planning
- Place points along your intended path rather than drawing one straight line between start and destination. Terrain, water and cliffs often make the direct line misleading.
- Measure each leg separately: camp to fast travel point, fast travel point to hunting ground, hunting ground to a trapper or butcher. This shows which leg is actually long.
- Compare a road route with a cross-country route. Roads are usually longer in distance but faster and safer when you are carrying pelts or a legendary animal carcass.
- Use it to judge whether a detour for a collectible or a legendary animal is worth the extra travel before you commit.
Sniping radius: shot planning
- Drag the target shape over your firing position. The dotted lines mark 50 m increments, so you can read off roughly how far a target sits from you.
- Use it to choose a vantage point: place the centre on a ridge or rock, then see which approach paths fall inside the radius you are comfortable with.
- For hunting, check that the animal's likely spawn or grazing area sits inside your effective range, so you are not repositioning after you spot it.
- For gang hideouts and ambushes, check whether you can cover the entrance, the main yard and a secondary exit from one position, or whether you need two firing spots.
Practical decision rule
| Goal | Tool | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Long trip with valuable cargo | Distance measurement | Total distance, road versus off-road, nearest fast travel or stable |
| Collectible or hunting sweep | Distance measurement | Extra distance per detour versus time saved by skipping it |
| Hunting a skittish animal | Sniping radius | Whether the animal's area sits inside your comfortable range |
| Clearing a hideout | Sniping radius | Whether one position covers entrances, cover and escape routes |
A concrete example
Suppose you are carrying a legendary animal carcass and want to reach a trapper. Measure the route in legs. If the direct line crosses a river or steep terrain, measure the road alternative. If the road adds only a short distance but removes a risky crossing, take the road. Then, if you plan to hunt on the way, drag the sniping target over your chosen ridge and confirm the animal's grazing area falls inside the range you trust.
Next step
Open the map, switch on only the layers you need for the current task, and measure one real route before you set out. Filtering out unrelated collectibles makes both tools easier to read. The site also offers an upgrade that removes ads and adds extra features if the ads interfere with measuring.
