Show us your city, road or transit maps!

[Duvad 26]

ThePeoplesPerson and cammo2003's maps just look so awesome to me because I can relate to the actual map designs.

[_MostlyHarmless 17]

I'd love to know how to do this, I cannot even do it right on MS Paint. :-[

Nor an i ...

Hmmm... ok, here goes nothing.

I'm sorry about the picture quality, but click the link for a BIG map of eastern Lazarus. I will showcase it together at full quality with detailed maps of places of special interest in my CJ as soon as I can find a decent image host for big pics (suggestions are welcome!).

Click me (you know you want to!)

[And i hope that ShaddowAssasin will forgive me for "borrowing" his map style, but I just fell in love with it and couldn't stop myself. lol.]

[JaneJacobs 1]

Great map!

[emilin 2]

I normally wouldn't advertise like this, but several of my maps are finished now and can be seen in my CJ. I don't want to double post them here too, since they are fairly big. Check it out if you want to.

I've just tryed to make a elaveted train map, it's not fnished at all.

The map shows the first lines of the City Mass transit system, the Ligne I (for Imperial)

My city is shown on the french webstie Toutsimcity, soon I'll shown it on Simtro

I'm trying to make a street map

[JaneJacobs 1]

Great maps, emilin, I was really blown away. I think you should post them here too, but whatever you want is fine. Anyway, great job.

And thebanjo, looks like you've got a great start on your map.

This is an unfinished map for a Japanese region I'm making. This is the downtown area, grey lines are rail services. The light blue is ferry services.

Nice thread! Here is my map for the fledgling El network of Eloff, one of the major cities in my region.

Here's a map of the Public transit in one of my cities(which were somehow erased).

Here is a fantasy subway map I created that was inspired by the Moscow metro map...

I love the three newest maps, guys. Awesome work.

Here's a subway map I created for an old (simcity 2000!!) city.

Arg!  I want to be able to do that! 

[RushHourFreak 1]

Loving those map-quest style. And all of them are very original, each one has its one personal features, thats great. Impressive job there guys

[owenluby 1]

Hwt Waz_up_Tiger, the plane map has a route into Asutralia that ends up in the middle of nowhere! The one near Darwin is actually in the Gulf of Carperntaria... lol it's just funny for me because I live in Aus so you know...

Great maps guys!

[waway625 72]

sorry for the very basic transport map

yellow= major avenues and highways

red= elevated rail network (plus a short subway line)

green=railway

[Benedict 3,119]

I really like the city of Novgorod CJ by i.ess. I decided to create a metro/RER map based on the images shown there.

Wow, somebody please give me tips how to do those kind of maps, i've been planning to do my 5th CJ.. got bored with the first 4. But I wan't to get everything done, and just post pictures of it. If somebody could please PM me about this "map making" thing, and provide me the name of the software or even a PM tutorial would be great. That is if there's no trouble for you guys doing that.

Those Maps are really great! just great!

[Benedict 3,119]

Another CJ I liked was Andrew George's Norwich. Andrew's map:

The metro map I created for him:

[masochist 111]

Nice maps, Benedict!  Very realistic and flowing!  ...Nuke City?  Sounds like my kind of town!

mayorron: Check out this map-making tutorial by emilin on SC4Devotion...it'll tell you what you want to know.  As for software, if you don't have Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, I'd recommend The GIMP for all your photo-editing needs.  The full version is totally free with no spyware or anything like that, but it's surprisingly powerful (just make sure you download and install that GNK Runtime Environment first, which is on the same page).  I'm in process of trying to make my own map thanks to emilin and The GIMP...

[Porter 68]

Well, here's one I have, not exactly like everyone elses.... which are so totally awesome.

It's based off of Kansas City's highway Scout system...

masochist: Thanks, for that info. I'd look into it. Thanks again.

[Benedict 3,119]

Thanks, Masochist. I enjoy trying to take a geographic representation of a transport network and turning into a schematic that could potentially be of use. And in Nuke City (a SC2000 city) I was desperately trying for the military nuclear missile facility, (lots of hills) but never did get it to grow...
