GTA V zone names: every GetNameOfZone code and district

Every point on the GTA V map belongs to a zone — Legion Square, Sandy Shores, Paleto Bay — and the game returns a short code for it rather than the readable name. HUDs, dispatch alerts and loading-screen tips all need the readable version. This page lists every zone code with its district name, taken from the Cfx zone reference, and shows how to turn a position into “Pillbox Hill, Alta St”.

Short answer: Call GetNameOfZone(x, y, z) to get a zone code such as LEGSQU, then map it to a readable name with the table below (LEGSQU → Legion Square). For street names use GetStreetNameAtCoord, which returns hashes you convert with GetStreetNameFromHashKey. Update the display on a timer, not every frame.

local ZONES = {
    LEGSQU = 'Legion Square', PBOX = 'Pillbox Hill', SANDY = 'Sandy Shores',
    PALETO = 'Paleto Bay', DOWNT = 'Downtown', -- …the rest from the table below
}

CreateThread(function()
    while true do
        local pos = GetEntityCoords(PlayerPedId())
        local code = GetNameOfZone(pos.x, pos.y, pos.z)
        local area = ZONES[code] or code

        local streetHash, crossHash = GetStreetNameAtCoord(pos.x, pos.y, pos.z)
        local street = GetStreetNameFromHashKey(streetHash)
        local cross = crossHash ~= 0 and GetStreetNameFromHashKey(crossHash) or nil

        -- send to your HUD only when it changes
        print(area, street, cross)
        Wait(1000)
    end
end)
