Locations, also known as Points of Interest (POI), are areas, settlements, and land features that can be found around the map in Fortnite: Battle Royale.

There are plenty of locations to be found so a player can have access to loot and materials without struggle. Better Weapons and Items are found as you visit larger locations - usually considered the better ones - because a player will find many more Chests there.

For the evolution of the Battle Royale map, see the Map Gallery.

There are 3 types of locations in Battle Royale, these being: Named Locations, Landmarks, and Unnamed Locations.

Islands

There have been 5 unique Battle Royale islands. Each of these has lasted for a chapter of Fortnite. Chapters 1 and 2 lasted about 2 years, Chapters 3 and 4 lasted 1 year, and Chapter 5 is still ongoing. These islands are internally named after Greek gods, with the first four starting with 'A'. The islands change with each chapter, however Chapter 4 is the only chapter to have an island change during the chapter itself instead of after its conclusion.

Here is a showcase of these islands in their most recent state:

Athena (Chapter 1, Chapter 4 Season OG)

Apollo (Chapter 2)

Artemis (Chapter 3)

Asteria (Chapter 4 Seasons 1 - 4)

Helios (Chapter 5)

Named Locations

Main Article: Named Locations

Named Locations are the largest types of locations, and usually considered the best due to their plentiful loot. As stated in their name, these locations have names - that are often alliterative (two words in which the starting letter in each word is the same, such as Retail Row) - which are also seen labelled on the map.
They are quite large in size - often resembling towns and cities, and because of this, many Chests can be found in these locations to give good loot.

Landmarks

Main Article: Landmarks

Landmarks are smaller versions of named locations that still have names, but are not labelled on the map. Their names are only seen on the screen when entering the area. Like named locations, most Landmarks have alliterative names.
They still have moderately good perks, and are the most common type of location.

Unnamed Locations

Main Article: Unnamed Locations (Battle Royale)

Unnamed Locations are locations, similar to Landmarks but without official names. Due to this, the community often grant these locations names - like Yonder Yard and Factories. In addition, their name could have been as simple as Volcano.
As Landmarks were only added in Chapter 2, they are considered as the replacement for Unnamed Locations. However, some notable locations without names have still existed in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3.
