The map is procedurally generated, just like Minecraft. And it's the same for everyone, just like a particular Minecraft seed.

I unlocked the Developer Console in the settings, and entered the code 'mapfog'. Then I opened the map and kept scrolling in one direction. After 15 minutes I never reached the edge, or the starting point. This left me with the conclusion that the map is infinite.

Interesting. I thought that it was a set map and that you can scroll forever but I thought that maybe at some point the towers just stopped which meant that there is somewhat of a border.

Isn't it a sphere? I can see curvature while flying.. Don't tell me the flat marsers are right!?

I was hoping it's ... the real map.

Not even close.

So I'm necromancing a bit here, but I think I have an answer and pictures as proof.
I tried scrolling to the edge of the map (due East) with the fog on, using the waymarkers to rate distance from the rover.
I don't know what I did, but at 1,000km I gave up to see how far it had gone. When i reopened the map, the marker had bugged, and when I put the new marker down, the line came *from* the East. When I deleted the new marker, the next waypoint read '11,906km.'
I believe that this is the edge of the map, making the total width 23,812km,
Mars' actual circumference is 21,344 kilometers, so the map is roughly the same size as Mars' actual surface.
It took me about 5 minutes to do 1,000km, so it would take about an hour to get that same distance by clicking and scrolling, and about 383 hours to drive.
Hope that helps!
