Show us your city, road or transit maps!

@ Jacob - I like the expanded water/rivers on the map and the way it is faded at the edges - gives it a trendy modern look. Can't wait to see how it progresses!

Something that wasn't possible until now, because I hadn't built it all.

Great as usual Benedict. Love your work.

Here's a thread for people who are interested that shows overviews of CXL city networks. Not maps exactly but you can see the layouts.

Also, there's a blog I can't remember if I posted before, features news about real-life transit systems and often has interesting maps.

Good job. Are the A, B, C etc. fare zones or whatever?

I'd say that's a good guess, since he lists fares based on the number of zones traveled on the left.

I'd also say it's a good guess I'm mostly replying because of the page flip bug....

[Benedict 3,119]

Yes, the fare zones are A-E, although the maximum number of zones you need to travel through is 3 (fares based on points of origin and destination via adjacent zones).

Miami's City Hall isn't in Downtown, It's south of the aena in Coconut Grove and not accessibe by the FEC corridor. Where the city hall stop is would have to be adjacent to the Government Center Metrorail station, which Is like our transit hub.

Cool map Retep!

[Josh6 873]

Wow. I think this is one of the best Show us.... threads ever. But how do you make those maps?

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Photoshop usually. You can use MS Paint, but I wouldn't. I use Adobe Illistrator CS4 to do mine.

Trixies here we come. Ha.

If you look through the whole thread, I believe there are some discussions of how to do it. I think a tutorial was even posted at one point. But basically yes, it is just using Photoshop (or the image editing program of choice).

[Servan 5]

Here is the tutorial over at SC4D, You'll have to login/register to see it.

I use MS paint, which is a painful process!

[Muck308 55]

me too, retep. It takes forever.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

@ Retep Molinari: If your maps look that good with Paint, then imagine what we'd see with some REAL programs!!! Btw I nominated you for a Trixie.

Well, thank you so much! I really appreciate it and am very excited!!!!

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Well I hope you win as you pretty much deserve it!

Back on the forum topic, I've got a massive detailed road map that I will post when done.

[Josh6 873]

Thanks

[davidaiow 2]

I think this will be the last major update to my IW metro map. Well last of this version perhaps.

[Retep Molinari 68]

Nice, though the yellow is a bit bright.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

I actually disagree. I reckon the yellow is fine, but I would of used blue. Very nice map!

[davidaiow 2]

Thanks for you comments and criticism. I must admit, I did toy with blue- yellow can be such an awkward colour- however I decided that blue looked a little odd. I found that the yellow seems to give it all a nice balance.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Guy 1: Why does the Green Line have no stations?

Guy 2: That's the border, you idiot.

[Retep Molinari 68]

lol @ ROFLyoshi

@ davidaiow: Orange? Anyway, great work. Very nice looking.
