Merging profiles news
Since I’m merging discovered map sectors in my profiles periodically my old method with Notepad++ is time consuming and I decided to right a script to combine strings and generate list of unique values with proper sequence. Everyone can code today thanks to AI. So I’m planning to make updated guide which can help players with several different profiles and numerous map mods setups. The longest part of it for sure to create media, make a structure and do voiceover, so it will take time. Until that you can use my previous year-old guide which is still actual.
100% discovered study 02.24.2026
With version 1.58 of both games, the situation is a bit different.
In ETS2, we still have 100% map completion, and the guide below remains fully up to date.
However, in ATS, we received a major map update with the Route 66 rework. With the American guide below, you will now reach only about 96% completion out of the box. I’m still running deliveries and haven’t reached 100% yet. Most likely, I will skip this version and won’t create a dedicated guide for it.
The reasons are quite simple: time is very limited on my side, and there’s relatively low audience interest in ATS 100% guides. On top of that, we’re expecting the Illinois DLC this spring.
That said, if I finish my discovery soon and see no signs of ATS 1.59 or a new map expansion by the end of March, I may share the updated strings — at least for Patreon subscribers.
[Guide] ATS 1.57 – 100% Explored map with all DLC (with Louisiana) (December 2026, ATS 1.57, all map DLCs with Louisiana) Actual to 96% on ATS 1.58
[Guide] ETS2 1.57 – 100% Explored map with all DLC (with Nordic Horizons) (January 2026, ETS2 1.57, all map DLCs including Scandinavia Rework and Nordic Horizons DLC) Actual to 100% on ETS2 1.58
I do these discovery since 2017 and I discover whole map almost on every game versions including all expansions and reworks.
Hidden Roads Study – February, 18 2025
Since the last update we have numerous new secret roads in ATS 1 .58 I was thinking about updating the guide for America – I found already 10 new hidden roads and still in progress. But I believe soon we will see also new Illinois DLC so can expect new secrets on that new state. Unfortunately youtube rank and promote older videos first and below guides have a very bad discoverability and low views. So I don’t want to spent a lot of time for guide with 700 views.
Below you find all hidden roads in ATS and ETS2 found in version 1.57.
You can see the complete list of cities with hidden paths here: https://trucksim.top/y9t6. It is probably won’t help you with exact secrets locations but you can check if you missed any.
I’m sharing found hidden secret roads in both American Truck Simulator and Euro Truck Simulator 2 periodically since 2022 when this feature been released on ETS2 and ATS 1.44. But maybe right now it is time to freeze the series and let others do this job.
ETS2 (updated 01.24.2026, actual on 1.57 with Scandinavia Refresh and Nordic Horizon DLC, 110 roads so far)
ATS (updated 12.26.2025, actual on 1.57 with Louisiana DLC, 245 roads so far)
[Guide] How to open 100% map in ATS with all DLC incl. Louisiana
This guide is little outdated if you switched to 1.58, where there are extra roads added but it is still actual and can be used to start with kind of 96%. And for 1.57 with Pelican State (Louisiana) here is whole 100% profile and source file.
Obviously you need all map DLC and as always I would like to remind you to back up before doing anything with your profiles.

ATS 1.58 Secret Roads of Route 66 Rework
I continue to discover reworked map of Route 66 in ATS 1.58 and found already 10 hidden markable roads. Not sure that I will update Big guide until Illinois DLC this spring. Latest videos attract less attention and have very low views.
Below you can see couple videos with hidden paths in Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico.

The guide created in 2024 but more or less is actual to this date.
I tried to explain basics which can be useful.

New ATS secret roads and Route 66 Rework
As I mentioned before after release of open beta for 1.58 we have about 4% of undiscovered roads – on my side it was 96,29% opened just after the update. It is the result of massive Rout 66 Rework and other map enhancements. But SCS not only did this beautiful rework but also added new easter eggs and hidden roads, so count of markable but secret roads is growing. below you can see couple videos with hidden paths in Arizona and Nevada.

Map Combo Study 02.06.2025 (Final for 1.57)
Open Beta 1.58 for both games is available now and I will not update map combo setups for 1.57 unless minor fixes of links will come. With official news about game version 1.58 starting to surface, it’s safe to assume that an open beta is just around the corner. 1.58 is major update so we have to give the modding community some time to adapt to the new features and technical changes and release new vesions of their maps.
Until that happens, we still have large and stable map combos available for both Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator. Big for US and Giga for Europe.
There are already well-established rules and best practices that help avoid conflicts and common mistakes I’ve covered in Beginner’s Guide, which I strongly recommend watching before building or updating your map combo. It will save you time, prevent recurring issues, and help you create a stable and enjoyable setup from the start.
