The author asserts that the image qualifies fair use for the following reasons:

Rockstar North and Rockstar Games have not release a map of the city to the public domain.
The map is necessary to describe the geography and urban construction of the city.
The map serves to illustrate the city and its locations; nothing else.
This image is, in part, displayed as part of the game's interface (Grand Theft Auto III) in the form of a radar, and thus partially qualifies as a game screenshot.
The image is not intended to affect Rockstar North and Rockstar Games' right to market and sell the related games (Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto Advance and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories).
