Diversion stars are given depending on how close Playa is to the enter of the bullseye. Once the Diversion is activated, a bullseye appears on the mini-map and on the ground. Pressing the Action button when the prompt is not displayed jettisons the parachute. After deploying the Parachute, a prompt appears to start the Diversion by pressing the Action button. This Diversion can only be started while a Parachute is deployed. Landing in centre of the bullseye earns 3 Gold Stars and unlock the 'no falling damage' reward. In Saints Row 2, the goal of Base Jumping is to land within a bullseye while parachuting.

Note the target on the lower left mini-map on the HUD.

There are several islands which are Secret Areas and are not displayed on the map.The player slowly descends downwards.

Each of these can be displayed separately, or all at once. The Map shows the name of the District and Neighborhood currently centered on the map, as well as markers for stores, Activities, cribs, missions and Strongholds. The Stilwater Caverns and Rounds Square Shopping Center for example, are multi-map underground areas, but only the current section is accessible, which may make navigation difficult. In some underground locations, the Map shows the current area, but these underground maps are not accessible outside of that area. This can be avoided by not using the GPS, but cannot be avoided in missions with forced GPS routes. There is no option to disable these arrows, and it happens with all vehicles, including motorcycles. In Saints Row: The Third, Saints Row IV, and Gat out of Hell, the GPS places giant arrows on the road when the GPS says to turn. When driving around Stilwater or Steelport, 'GPS Shortcuts' are unlocked by driving down alleyways, pedestrian walkways and across empty lots.

The route to the waypoint is highlighted on the Map, as well as the mini-map on-screen HUD. The Map has many functions of a modern GPS device, including adding a bookmark at any location, or setting a destination, which is referred to as a 'waypoint'. In later games, the map is activated by pressing the Map button. In Saints Row, the Map is located on the first page of the Pause Menu and does not have a separate control. While these are not perfectly detailed, these are good visual aids. In addition to showing all roads, it also displays many geographic features such as rivers and ridges, as well as buildings. The Map displays Playa's position and orientation within Stilwater or Steelport.
