I still haven't opened any of that up yet! Not only have I not left the city, I have barely left each players respective neighborhoods. I am starting to feel like i have the inner city down pretty well, as far as getting around in concerned. I also had to go ride the Ferris Wheel and the Roller Coaster, just because they were there!
That said, I HAVE set out to go exploring a couple of times, but I never make it very far, as I get side-tracked by a "?" or store I need to rob. I have robbed many stores already, which has helped Franklin get a bit of cash to play with. Lisa has done most of the Michael stuff, while I hang around the old hood with Franklin. We will finish the heist this evening and perhaps open up Trevor, maybe?

Yeah, good old quest meander . Seems to become more natural to open up bigger tranches of the map once you hit Trevor, if only because you're out in the expanses (altho there's still masses to do out there!). Can def recommend the simple art of the 'high octane taxi service' as a fun way to role the dice and get sent to new places. (Got a feeling you may need to actually buy the taxi service to unlock that tho. Tried clicking in an ambulance the other day and it didn't offer me missions. Maybe I need to buy a hospital? I could probably do with one the way I'm going! )
