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.

Map Combo Study 12.29.2025
With the version 1.57 for ETS2 and ATS we got new content expansions in Europe and America and map combinations – especially in ETS2 – were in challenging mode. For ATS is more or less clear and latest Louisiana combo is working well. But in Europe until yesterday we had to build separate setups for combo with or without Nordic Horizons because the DLC collided with several major mods. Promods with new DLC integration is released and we have now some options to create combo with Promods 2.80 and other maps. So the assembly of Mega combo is now WIP on my side and I hope we will see New Year edition of map combo in last days of 2025. But if I will not finish it I still would recommend you to wait to the moment when all fixes and connections will be ready and until that use below guides.
WIP and plans:
ETS2 1.57:
Mega Map Combo with incorporated Nordic Horizons, Promods, Middle East and dozens of other maps
Light Map combo without NH
ATS 1.57:
Big Map combo with updated maps (E.g. Beyond) (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.

Hidden Roads Study – December, 28 2025
As you know I’m sharing found hidden secret roads in both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 periodically. While ATS hidden roads guide has been updated with 245 roads, in ETS2 1.57 we have a lot of new roads in refreshed Scandinavia and Nordic Horizon DLC, and I’m still discovering them. I hope I will update the guide in the beginning of 2026 but it can take more time.
Actual list of cities with hidden roads for Europe and America will be updated periodically here https://trucksim.top/y9t6. It is probably won’t help you with exact secrets locations but you can check if you missed any.
ETS2 (updated 04.25.2025, actual on 1.57 without Scandinavia Refresh and Nordic Horizon DLC, 80 roads so far)
ATS (updated 12.26.2025, actual on 1.57 with Louisiana DLC, 245 roads so far)
Unfortunately, YouTube search results often prioritize older videos, so even though I’m updating descriptions, outdated guides still rank higher in search results. Please always check if a more recent and updated guide is available.
Guide How to Download and Setup Promods 2.80
New Promods 2.80 is major release so it contains not only compatibility but also integration with new map DLC Nordic Horizons and refreshed Scandinavia. You can enjoy new version on the latest ETS2 1.57 but now all map DLC are required. In the guide below as always you will find step by step instruction, but please watch carefully and don’t ask about archives on the Youtube.
Nordic Horizons DLC will come soon, possible challenges
Promods 2.80 out now
Map Combination Beginners Guide and Secrets for ATS & ETS2 1.57
Map Combos for SCS trucking games are not an easy for newcomers. So you can find lot of ready setups for actual version, including here on Trucksim, but before start better to avoid obvious mistakes.

Cruising Nordic Horizons Event is still live
The World of Trucks event – Cruising Nordic Horizons started with new DLC for ETS2 and if you’re still not joining – it is the chance to discover nice cities, roads and landscapes of Northern Europe and get some in-game perks like truck skit or cabin decorations. Rules of the event is pretty clear if you ever attended to SCS events – bring cargo with External contracts for or from cities of the new DLC.
Me personally already finished my goals as well as Community – goal reached couple days before. But you have time until February 1st of 2026.
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% Discovered Map of ETS2 1.56 (Profile and save game) (September 2025, ETS2 1.56, all map DLCs up to Greece)
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.
245 Hidden Roads in ATS 1.57 (with Louisiana). Secret Roads, Towns and Easter eggs
The guide contains 245 hidden roads in 19 states (including Louisiana DLC) on American Truck Simulator. It is actual for January 2026, 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 in 2026 – announced Illinois and South Dakota, expansion to Canada in British Columbia.
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.

Cruising Louisiana event is still goes on
As always with the new DLC for American Truck Simulator we get World of Trucks event and this time it’s #CruisingLouisiana – typical but still attractive since we can discover new state and get another trophy on ours Wotr page.
Rules and rewards are pretty equal as for other “Cruising” events so if if you played it once just apply to the new names or read details in SCS Blog.
