Why this rating: Rockstar's 'faded vacation town' copy is matched to Panama City by Dexerto, and GTA Wiki traces many buildings to pre-Hurricane Michael Callaway/Panama City; GTADB agrees. How we rate matches
Field notes: The Miami Guide instead attributes Port Gellhorn to the wider Panhandle/Forgotten Coast. GTA Wiki says the seaport borrows from Port Tampa Bay and the bay geography from Port Charlotte/Punta Gorda. Many specific matches (Crossroad Park Minimall, Burnout Scooters) were demolished after 2018.
