I am about to start a map project and I was wondering how big is the map, or how distant are the limits of the map in some real units? So that I know how much I can spread the landscape..

6000*6000 units

You can see this by pressing map helper in GIMS and don't model outside the displayed map.

I don't know of what units, it depends on your 3ds max current scale.

But I did mention that you can see it using GIMS, right? Which automatically shows it to you base on your max settings.

when you take an helo or a boat you can drive beyond map limits

yes but it is because only the water is rendered but the objects wont be rendered if the pivot of the objects is outside that zone.
if the object is near that limits then it will have problems with rendering

that's why i asked in another thread if it could be possible to add some circles like SA Liberty city mission to jump from a map to another , don't know if you can remember
