Why are people in these locations?

There's so many places here I don't understand. Especially that one to the west edge of the map.

The western blob is a place for hiding camps. <-- I was wrong, thought it was debug area

Urals are worth the travel because its a moving campsite and can with hold under fire.

The north blob has a fuel tank beside the barn.

The reason that one road might end is because people have logged off.

Id say teh reason teh road ends is because people usually have found vehciles by that point.

 

This is an excellent map by the way, how did you produce it????

They might have died of boredom by then.

Funny to see how the NWA is overpopulated, but almost nobody puts a step on the landing strip xD

I didn't produce it, it's a heatmap created by some guy named Telejunky. I only edited it to add the red arrows and rings. I believe he made it through making a program that tracks player movement.

Why doesn't it surprise me to see Cherno and Elektro being two big red dots...

He didnt, this is a map created by a scan of ALOT of players, and their movement ingame and route they take.

That green blob north of Pusta is my dance party location.

The western blob is a place for hiding camps. Cheating basically.

Ha! So making a camp in the wilderness is cheating in your eyes?

Interesting to see that pretty much no one (for this study) takes the route I generally take.  Besides my brief time on the coast to get the basics.  No wonder I never see anyone. :)

And also another cause for the road to end could be because they went offroad. You can see the deep blue still there, so it didn't really end, some people just left the road.

Its in the debug zone. I have a sneaky suspicion its exploited a lil' bit.

Thats not the debug plain, just very close to it.

 

The most likely reason for the trail going north from Cherno ending so suddenly is that up to that point there are lots of buildings and roadblocks, this would cause players to slow down and so show up more on the heat map.

I don't think it's actually in the debug zone.
