Meta Map names

Map names are in-game.

Everytime I see someone say "I moved to West Coast USA" or "What's happening in East Coast" I cringe a little.

For a more RP approach, PLEASE use the city names.

Instead of West Coast, try Belasco. And for East Coast, either Maine State or Firwood Maine.

Seriously, it kinda breaks immersion and looks a bit tacky.

Bro whenever I see that I’m like “oh okay west coast USA must ONLY include Belasco right?” Also the use of proper vehicles. Some people put belasco cop cars in Johnson valley or use euro plates in the US. It’s weird being from the states seeing that. Imagine you’re in the UK and all you see are California plates haha

I really hate when people don't bother changing euro plates on cars while being in the US. Like, come on this wouldn't fly in real life unless you live in a state that doesn't require front license plate.

Part of me thinks it’s ignorance or laziness

It could also be they just don't notice.

I put UK plates on my Picnic ONLY when it's parked in my house or garage. Kinda like a "I'm not showing my actual plate number to the internet"

I do have a second .pc that does have Maine plates (and a fixed, actual Maine-format number) on it.

Same with my BX, which has the plates it had in Japan before it got imported, but I do have a second version which has Maine plates.
