If you've got the Parker Square criminal convoy one but are still at 99/100, chances are you missing the lighthouse check in.

It's on the extreme right hand side of the map, a way offshore. U til you zoom in, it's masked by the Investigation icon.

Any idea if you need to do these all before the final mission or can you free roam once it is complete?

If you have no "unvisited" category, it is simply because you have no unvisited within range. It shows the hotspots that are within 1000m or so.
I fast traveled between the safe houses to get the last one. Travel to a safe house and use the above trick, if no Unvisited, then travel to another and repeat.

I concur with FrankFP, I had to fast travel to a different safe house to get the 2nd last hotspot(St. Jude Police League) to show up on the app. I left the lighthouse for last.

Go to the island on the left side of the map. It has The Chicago Cubs stadium on it. North of the stadium, the check mark was hidden under a Criminal Convoy . My City Hotspot said 100 check ins with 99/100 spots visited. The location is called Farris Halstead Library. Once I visited the achievement popped.

So on my City Hotspots app I'm showing as 100% Spots visited, and the unvisited tab no longer shows up.
But the collectibles section of the progression wheel only shows 71%, and there are no solid ticks left on the map.

Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this please?

I'm also at 100% visited and only 91 were tracked.

Ended up, starting a new save, going offline and doing all spots again, achievement popped up the second I went online again. That's an hour and a half I'm not getting back.

I was stuck at 95% for a long time. I got the achievement today in a fortunate accident. Not sure of this will help anyone else, but here goes:

I started the game, all the hotspot indicators on the map were greyed out from having been visited. I didn't have the Online Racing achievement, so I selected that. There was no one ready to race at that time, but I noticed ALL the hotspot indicators has turned back to white (not visited). I hit a couple nearby hotspots and PLOINK the achievement popped.

It'd be awesome if this helps anyone else.

I can add to that, that If your progress is stuck trying all locations again on the same save is NOT working. I got the Uber tourist badge after doing all locations again, but i still am stuck at 99%.

99%? I've been stuck at 71% for the longest time, and thought it was something to do with the DLC initially.

Update: I was in the menu and clicked "Ubisoft Connect" (or whatever the option is, I forget), and was able to go to each hotspot again. This counted towards the achievement. Eventually I went from 71% to 99%. This is where my progress stopped. I then exited the game completely (after grabbing a few more hotspots, to be sure it wouldn't work), and after doing the Ubisoft Connect thing again, I logged back into the game, and not even out of the loading screen, the achievement popped.

I have no clue if this will ever help anyone, but I somehow got it to work. Good luck, fellow achievement hunters! :)

Great guide. +1. But you do not hit RB at all. You need to be on the menu that says "All." There is no unvisited menu. At least, not in the copy of the game that I have.

I got rid of the game after i beat it, and then picked it up used again cuz i wanted to play more, but both times ihad the disc based game, and my saved game from the first disc didnt save after i deleted the game off the hard drive, so when i went to play on the new (used) disc, nothing transferred, and ive went to all the hot spots again, and the achievement wont unlock

Simply visit each solid tick/check on the map checking in at each hotspot following the onscreen prompt. Each hotspot will have a plaque located on the floor or the wall. Once checked in a hotspot's icon will change to a hollow tick/check on your map.

If you reach 99/100 hotspots and cannot find the 100th, take care to check that the hotspot's icon isn't hidden under another icon such as a "Criminal Convoy" "Gang Hideout" etc.

Alternatively this achievement can be earned without the interruption of online invasions in multiplayer free roam - thanks to L 4Stir

Another tip is to use the 'City Hotspots' app. There you can see which hotspots you've checked into for every district.

And if you, like me cannot find the 100th hotspot and are getting frustrated, check on the island with the lighthouse to the far right out. It seems I am not the only one missing this one :D

OK, for those stuck at 99/100 try fast traveling to each of the different districts and look at the Hotspots on the phone, you can instantly see if there's one you've missed and set a waypoint.

For anyone looking for the library, its in the Parker Square district North West of the hideout on the east side of the district under the "Fixer Contract/Made Men"

Actually, it unlocked without me even knowing. There was no "Achievement Unlocked" toast, the achievement list on the console didn't list it as complete (as said, it was stuck at 89%) and yet, the next day, TA.com lists it as unlocked. Oh well. At least this means there's hope for anyone with this glitch.

QUICK TIP IF YOU ARE MISSING 1 OR 2 HOTSPOTS
Open up the 'Hotspot' App on your phone and look for hotspots without a tick next to them, this means they haven't been scanned. Keep travelling from hideout to hideout and keep checking the app to see if any hotspots are around.

I was stuck on 99 and found out that the last hotspot was the library which is hidden under a Criminal Convoy marker.

Hope this helps!

Like a few other people, I also have the problem where you have 100/100 visited, yet the progress only says 99/100. If anyone knows what to do to fix it, that would be great, because I really don't want to make another save just to waste time riding around the city to check in at stupid landmarks again.

I did some research and saw that a lot of people had this problem if they did the achievement after beating the main game. I did the achievement between beating chapter 3 and starting chapter 4, so it can happen at anytime. I tried a bunch of different things to fix it.
1) Power cycling xbox
2) Signing out and signing in again
3) Checking in at a random hotspot
4) Checking in again at the first hotspot I checked in at
5) Getting another achievement to see if they would both pop
6) Beating the game
I have now beaten the game and gotten every other achievement, yet this one has not popped. Unless someone knows something I don't know, if this glitch happens to you, you have to start a new game and go to every stupid landmark again, because of course the one achievement that glitches is the extremely boring one.

I learned from reading various PlayStation forums that the 100/100 problem can be solved by unlinking your Uplay account from your gamertag (which can't be done in-game, only at Ubisoft's website), quitting the game, and then relinking. This hasn't worked yet for me personally, but I read that it may take a few hours to pop, even while you're playing a different game.

I never did get the method I mentioned above to work. I gave up and took the nuclear option: disconnect from internet, delete local save file, start new game, then grab every hotspot. It took a little over an hour, not too terrible. It popped once I connected back to XBL.

Like FuneralDirector, this looks glitched to me too. In the phone it tells me that I've hit 100/100, and I got the in phone "badge" for this. In the collectibles page of the progressions screens though, it shows 99/100. Dagnabbit.

I was about to write a guide up, but yours cover the bases. All I would have said in mine different is that if you are like me, and getting pestered by on line invasions from other gamers, this achievement can be obtained in the on line free roaming area when you join a session. I did this today and got the achievement within an hour of starting to do grind it out. So feel free to add my tag when you edit this in your guide.wave

Did anyone that this is glitched for finish after the mission in act III where you do the tower in Pawnee. I did all mine before that, including the one in the red ctOS center on the island in Pawnee. I feel like that may have something to do with it. I will check after I complete the rest of the achievements and try a new save.

Watch Dogs Secret Achievement Guide GeoLocated

Watch Dogs Secret Achievement GeoLocated Guide This Watch Dogs Geolocated Achievement or Geolocated Trophy is a Secret Achievement Called Geolocated You Unlock Geolocated by Checking In To All The Landmarks On Watch Dogs They Show on the map as Little Ticks

This guide is not going to show you all the locations. They are already shown on the map, so no need for that. Press the track pad on your controller to see the map.

This guide is to point out that some of the legends on the map for the hotspots appear underneath tasks. This becomes a complete pain to find the final few if you have not done loads of tasks yet. I got to 99/100 and scanned over the map about 5 or 6 times on different zoom levels before I found the last one.

If you press UP on dpad and browse to the Hotspots section, then you will see a list of the closest ones. Some people have had luck with this function by using Fast Travel to each of their hideouts (the fast forward symbols on your map) and checking here to see if it shows any that they haven't come across yet

Interestingly for me, my gamesave crashed last night when I tried to load it but before it did this trophy popped while it was trying to load and I had only checked in at about 35 places. Be interesting if anyone else gets this issue.

I had it pop several minutes after I had all 100, which was a painful few minutes cry

Also, my final point didn't appear on the map until I zoomed in much further then it took to display the others. It was on the lighthouse which is on an island on the right edge of the map.

Quite a few people have that issue StephenBrown81. It is a glitch in the game that Ubisoft are working on fixing. Loading an older back (if you have one, e.g. from PS Plus back ups) or starting fresh is the current way to get around the frozen loading screen glitch if it hasn't gone away. Ubisoft are expecting to patch it and fix games affected so you could alos wait

My last one was in Parker Square hidden underneath the Criminal Convoy Job "Made Men" at the east side of Parker Square.

If you completely zoomed in on the map, you could see just a little white spot underneath the Job sign. Because I wasn't sure if it was the spot or not, and I did already check the whole map before, I went to check it out and the spot was just next to the Job. I did not find a way to let it show on the map.

Hello everyone i am writing this guide based upon my experiences with this achievement being buggy, and how i worked around it.

if this achievement has bugged for you i suggest doing all the other achievements before going for this one, same as I.

The first thing you are going to want to do before opening your game (if you have it opened close by going to the home screen by pressing cn_guide hovering over watch dogs, pressing cn_start and selecting "Quit")

Once you have your game closed you must disconnect from your internet forcefully, to do this firstly open the setting app (this comes preinstalled inside your xbox) and once loaded in, select network setings. From there select go offline and wait a second and you should be offline.

Now quit the settings app and again press cn_start while hovering over watch dogs, and select manage game and addons. Once done select saved data and select your profile, then select delete from console not network. (MAKE SURE YOU ARE OFFLINE) once done we can finally open the game.

Open the game and select new game and watch from the opening cutscenes, once through the first couple cutscenes you will be prompted to shoot maurice, watch another short cutscene and hack his phone, then there will be another cutscene with Jordi and then you will be fully able to walk around.

Follow the games prompts until you make it outside, where then you will need to escape from police and head back to the motel. Once done you will be prompted to sleep. Once you have slept you will wake up and have to look for something to take your mind off of the nightmare that you had, you will have to look for a potential crime, once you have found a person with the potential crime pop-up you will then need to hack them and you will then see a series of messages. followed after the game will prompt you to stop the crime. Head over the crime location (marked on your map) and deal with the criminal. from here you will get a call from Nicky and thats how you know you have unlocked the open world.

Now that we have the open world unlocked we can now open the map by pressing cn_start and you should see a white tick inside a black circle somewhere on the map. These are the markers for the hotspots that you need to collect. Move your recital to the Tick and press cn_A to mark it. Before we continue and collect our first hotspot we must check the progression app on our phone. So press cn_B to close the map and press cn_up to pull up your phone. Press cn_A to open the progression app and look for the city hotspots collectible. Now that you know where this is (this is important for later) you can now leave the progression app and reopen your phone. from there select the city hotspots app (use cn_RSc) to open navigate the phone menu. Make sure the spots visited stat says zero, If it doesn't and you havent collected any hotspots, you went wrong somewhere and you should restart the steps of the guide.

Now you need to collect all 100 hotspots and im going to add a list for you to check off. Continue with this guide when you have completed all 100.

Parker Square - 8
Pawnee - 12
The Wards - 14
Brandon Docks - 6
The Loop - 37
Mad Mile - 23

(Thank you to https://www.vgfaq.com/watch-dogs-city-hotspots-locations-gui... for helping make this list.)

Now Once you've collected all 100 hotspots, offline, and it says 100/100 in the progression app and city hotspots app. Wait 1 - 2 minutes in the game to give the achievement time to register (YOU WILL NOT SEE IT POP UNTIL YOU GO ONLINE) Now once you've waited 1 - 2 minutes quit to main menu and exit the game. Go to the saved data section and again delete the data from console. Now exit to the settings app and follow the steps previously to get to the go offline button, instead it will now say go online. Press go online and you will now be online. Now check your achievements for watch dogs and you should now have the geolocated achievment.

To get you save back simply open the game, Allow the console to sync your data, and once finished, press continue on the main menu to see if your old save is still there. And you should have your save from before you went offline.

Thank you for reading my guide and have a nice day and i hope this helped! smile
