This repository offers the coordinates of scenery towns in ATS. It was created in order to allow the ATS Slippy Map by @truckermudgeon to add an extra layer showing scenery towns.
A "scenery town" in ATS is defined for this repository as any location which is not a marked city on the in-game world map and which meets both of the following criteria:
-
Buildings exist in the game world.
Any kind of buildings will do, even commercial or abandoned ones. -
The place name exists in the game world.
This usually means the exact name must appear on a green road sign. Any deducing of place names from e.g. building names or other indirect sources should be avoided, except where the situation is super obvious.
Additionally, the following locations are included if named because of their navigational value, even where no buildings exist:
- Highway junctions
- Mountain passes
I'm absolutely open to discuss changes to these criteria. The
ATS Slippy Map thread
might be the best place to have such a discussion. Feel free to tag me there

If this collection turns out to be useful, I intend to complete it for most of ATS eventually.
At least mountain passes should probably be in another dataset instead of this one. They might be removed here if such a dataset becomes available separately in future.
Beyond that, it might be interesting to expand this idea to other POIs, such as historical markers, rest areas, or viewpoints.
