Looking for Map Help

    I am looking for a region that is relativly flat with one or two rivers and roads already laid out preferrably. I have spent the past 2 days downloading programs and terraformers and mappers and moving My Documents folder and got no where with any of these things. I just want an already laid out region to play with - where can I find one of these that does NOT require me to do 2 days worth of "how to" reading, sign up for 5 websites, download 20 programs and move my files for it to work. o.O

    Edit: Also, I have downloaded regions, which I downloaded Terraform and mapper for. Neither worked so I moved my files like stated. So now I have moved files and 2 programs....mapper opens and thats about it...there is nothing in mapper to do other than "load or create a region" - neither of which has options to do anything with. There was no way to edit any of the images I did manage to get the thing to open. Terraform...after moving all my files for it...still doesnt work and now Im reading I need to search my windows 32 folder for these other 20 files.....this is beyond crazy....the first forum I read for new comers was how 'simple' this stuff was - The word simple should not even be used in the mapping forums because this is anything but simple. Really wondering if this is worth the headache. Need forums for ppl who have no idea whats going on, like me.....with far less technical terms and more detailed and/or simplier explanations. Very tiring to get bounced from forum to forum and website to website and program to program and still get no where...and then someone pops in with "just move the .dll , download this patch(seperate sign up and website required), this program(ANOTHER sign up and website) and these 20 files found at 10 different sites...put the 20 files in the directory, greyscale, convert to bmp, load terraform, load this "go to this forum to read about this", load that "go to another forum for this", do this "go to another forum for this", do that and your good to go, simple -"...yea, um not....can u speak that in english please?
