100% discovered study 01.24.2026
Currently we have 100% in ATS 1.57 with new Louisiana DLC and you see the guide below but in Europe took more time than I expected so probably ETS2 guide with Nordic Horizons and Scandinavia rework won’t be finished in January. Update is really big so it’s deserved to wait a little. For sure all the hidden roads will be in it but you can watch them right now in the video. The full guide is also still not ready but I hope this weekend it will be available on Patreon. But for 100% in ETS2 1.57 expected date is February 2026. If you’re using older strings (for instance for 1.56 below) they are still work but undiscovered areas will remain grey.
[Guide] ATS 1.57 – 100% Explored map with all DLC (with Louisiana) (December 2026, ATS 1.57, all map DLCs with Louisiana)
100% Discovered Map of ETS2 1.56 (Profile and save game) (September 2025, ETS2 1.56, all map DLCs up to Greece, not includes Scandinavia Rework and Nordic Horizons DLC)
I do these discovery since 2017 and I discover whole map almost on every game versions including all expansions and reworks.
100% discovered study 01.09.2026
If you are a fan of ETS2 and ATS maps discoverability, like I am, and have no time and desire to visit every small part of map, then Trucksim is the best source since periodically after the game updates, new expansion and reworks I discover the roads and cities and share not only profile but also a text version with strings which you can inject to your game.sii and get the same results in couple minutes. Unfortunately it consumes a lot of my time and effort (both discovery and video guides). But I receive in return your positive feedback, likes and guides views on Youtube.
I’m trying to optimize the process and e.g. for American Truck Simulator do AI voiceover and reuse the guide so the ATS tutorial video many times faster (and I share this more often.)
Currently we have 100% in ATS 1.57 with new Louisiana DLC and you see the guide below and I’m on the home stretch in Europe as well so probably ETS2 guide with Nordic Horizons and Scandinavia refresh will be done in January. As well as secret roads guide.
If you’re using older strings (for instance for 1.56) they will sill work but undiscovered areas will remain grey.

100% discovered study 12.27.2025
It is so many map related news in our favorite truck simulator games, so on my side most previous guides and files are currently outdated. But I have some progress – ATS on 1.57 with new Louisiana DLC is almost done and the guide will be released in 2025, but in Europe I have only 92.75% with Nordic Horizons and Scandinavia refresh. So European update will take time and will be released in 2026. I concentrated on finding secret roads as well so while in US it is all shown in video, for Nordic Europe I found dozen of roads and discovery is still goes on.
If you’re still on 1.56 below you can find guides for both games. They will work on newer versions but undiscovered areas will remain grey.

100% Explored map with all DLC in ATS 1.56 * Full Map Discovered, Guide, Profile (September 2025, ATS 1.56, all map DLCs up to Iowa)
Since 2017 I discover whole map almost on every game versions including all expansions and reworks. Some map updates take a lot of time but some is pretty small and can be discovered in couple days. Nordic Horizons, refreshed Scandinavia and Louisiana will probably finished in 2026. And as soon as my progress will be finished I will share it on Youtube and here the blog.
235 Hidden Roads in ATS 1.57 (without Louisiana). Secret Roads, Towns and Easter eggs
The guide contains 235+ hidden roads in 18 states (excluding Louisiana DLC) on American Truck Simulator. It is actual for December 2025, on ATS 1.57.
Some roads are periodically disappear during map reworks and some new are being added in new game versions. Mostly I added marked roads but also some easter eggs are available.
And we are waiting the new states soon – already released Louisiana, announced Illinois and South Dakota.
I tried to avoid spoilers, mark only locations and removed hidden roads footages but if you prefer to to discover all hidden roads and secrets yourself better to skip the video.
Hidden and secret roads doesn’t affect percentage of map discovery.

Evolution of ETS2. DLC Trailers & Releases (2012-2027)
This timeline showcases almost every official DLC trailer (+ free map expansions and reworks) from the 2012 base game launch through the upcoming Iceland DLC (2026-2027).
Watch how SCS Software expanded the virtual European trucking world from the original 18 countries to the complete continent, featuring:
Base Game (2012) – The foundation with 18 countries
Going East (2013) – Eastern European expansion
Major DLCs: Scandinavia, Vive La France, Italia, Beyond the Baltic Sea, Road to the Black Sea, Iberia, West Balkans, Greece
Future expansions: Nordic Horizon & Iceland DLCs
Each trailer is presented chronologically with game version info and covered regions. Perfect for ETS2 veterans wanting to relive the journey or newcomers discovering the game’s incredible growth over 13 years!
All footages taken from @SCSSoftware, the music has been replaced since most of the trailers have copyrighted tunes. Resolution of initial trailers was 720p and later 1080p so I framed them.
Map Combo Study 12.08.2025
With the version 1.57 for ETS2 and ATS we got new content expansions in Europe and America and in both games and not all mods are properly merged with them. So while you can update some mods and just go to the road, bigger setups may not be so easy especially when we talk about combined map mods. So the maximal and stable map combos are around the corner but I would recommend to stay on vanilla (base game+DLC) or roll back to 1.56 to run mega setups. Obviously on 1.56 you can’t enjoy Nordic Horizons or Louisiana but it is still a solution for max coverage.
Setups for 1.57 (especially European) are tricky and I’m on wip stage but it is Holidays period and I have not enough time to test combos so it takes time. No one like broken roads and CTDs so below you will find combos that works on 1.57 for ETS2 and 1.56 for ATS, and both setups doesn’t require latest map DLC (NH, Louisiana).
WIP and plans:
ETS2 1.57:
Map Combo with incorporated Nordic Horizons (soon)
Map combo without NH but bigger size (later in December)
ATS 1.57:
Map combo with incorporated Louisiana DLC (next week or later)
As always I strongly recommend to start with beginner’s guide and do not ask same questions again and again in the comments and TG channel.
Before you start please always check if the guide you see latest and actual (check dates and videos availability). Please also follow rules and requirements – correct load order, DLCs compatibility and avoid extra mods that did not mentioned in the guide. In some cases you need to create new profile for stable work of maps especially if your old profile have pieces of deleted mods, garages, trucks etc.
Every single mod (not only map) can break the game and you will have a problems. I do not support stolen or pirated content so if you use it – Trucksim isn’t your place.

100% discovered study 12.02.2025
It is so many map related news in our favorite truck simulator games, so on my side all previous guides and files are currently outdated. While in America until the release of new Louisiana DLC we have more or less 100% discovered, in Europe I have about 89% with Nordic horizons and Scandinavia refresh. And I don’t know how big is Louisiana DLC.
Since 2017 I discover whole map almost on every game versions including all expansions and reworks. Some map updates take a lot of time but some is pretty small and can be discovered in couple days. Nordic Horizons, refreshed Scandinavia and Louisiana will probably finished in 2026. And as soon as my progress will be finished I will share it on Youtube and here the blog.
If you’re still on 1.56 and own new DLCs below you can find guides for both games. They will work on newer versions but undiscovered areas will remain grey.
