I already used it (but never publish a map created using that)

Great stuff.

[Joe 90 358]

Let me know if I'm going a bit too far over the top with this guys...

1238 named towns and I'm only halfway through *suckerforpunishment*

[RepublicMaster 428]

That is awesome! So many names! I wouldn't be able to come up with 100, let alone 1000.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

You masochist.

@Joe 90: It is epic right now, I'm going to start thinking of an adjective adequate to describe what can be watching the whole map when it's completed.

Wow, this looks almost real!

Another WIP from me.  Still deciding what info to put on this strip map of the system.  This type of map would be displayed on trains over doorways, on ticket machines and fare cards for calculating fare (similar to Bangkok's BTS Sytrain fare system),  and on the back of pamphlets.  A slightly more geographic map would be displayed at stations and available for pick up for those unfamiliar with the locations of stations.

 

I'd like this map to show connections to the Suburban S-rail system which is a major part of the transport scheme, but as you can see, it is already quite cramped.

 

Also: Note the cardinal direction markings at the end of each line denoting which direction from Central Olympia the line has gone to help with locating oneself.

 

[Joe 90 358]

I'm sure there's a reason highways don't get mapped like this very often... :/

European Route E-20 in Arthuria:

As always, click to embiggen!

Still working on some names for stations, but most of my Suburban Rail Network is complete, so I decided to make a service chart.

The S-lines form the backbone of commuter rail in the Olympia Region, but also shown on this map are the services of Olympia Metro in the Northwest Quadrant since there are no traditional rail services there.  The Metro there must substitute for S-line.  Also shown are connections to Olympia Metro throughout the region as well as National Rail and Southern Cross Rail Connections.  There is also a Connection to the High Speed Rail Service called ICE (Inter-City Express).

 

 

Thoughts?

Bluemoose - I love the map. I think the stations could be placed more equally from one another, but it's a minor concern.

 

Also, Cities in Motion / TES- master rail map. It's not finished, but it's pretty good so far. Balmora, Anvil, Bravil, Leyawiin, and soon Chorrol are playable Cities in Motion cities, too. (Bravil's still the top CiM2 map according to the ratings..)

Been looking around this thread for a while but never posted an actual map D:

 

I've made quite a few rail/metro maps but I'll post one for now.. This is for the RTS (Rapid Transit System) in Nam Chan.

 

[simcity1999 34]

Nice map, are the places in thai?

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

The watermarked logo is a quaint touch.

[Benedict 3,119]

The watermarked logo is a quaint touch.

 

I agree - a very 'stealable' idea. Great map, mystic.

 

@ Linoa06. Another one of your amazing maps. Great as always.

[__A 792]

Thanks Benedict and yoshi! The watermark was inspired by Singapore's MRT System Map

 

Nice map, are the places in thai?

Thanks, most of the names are in Cantonese and there's some French and English names too.

 

I just finished making a recreation of what the Melbourne Metro System could look like by 2030

 

 

Took me just less than a day

 

Here's the current map to compare: http://ptv.vic.gov.au/assets/PDFs/Maps/Network-maps/Train-Network-Map-updated-November-2012.pdf

Cantonese looks a lot similar with thai, both are tonal, both are from the same roots, and the only thing that is significantly different is the script they use.

 Nice Maps!

This is my transit map of Cortez Island, not that great but acceptable.

My latest CiM project (well not only mine, there are four other people working on it, though I was responsible for Downtown, Whitefield and Redguard after the Redguard guy messed up) - a coloured road map for the CiM2 Singaporese styled city of Altea and its surroundings.

 

This map is actually based on a black and white version, which I made first to draw the eventual transit network over it. The original - which I'll post when I'm done actually playing this map - is heavily based on Oakland, CA's own map.

Finally reached the end of the road

Quite accurate Second Life network map for this month. I worked a bit on the curves here

That looks really nice. Looks like a real tube map.

 

Did you make everything by hand or did you use some program/website for this?

[Linoa06 1,374]

Inkscape,

 

The map looks awesome, Joe :>

This is what I have so far.  Just took the SC4M_view.jpg of the region I'm about to start, opened it with GIMP, did a tiny bit of magic, colored the water blue, the land tan, and added the name of the nation I'm going to play a CJ for to the map.

 

In the fuure I'll build upon this base.  This is essentially just how this country would show up on a world political map that just shows countries.  I haven't decided whether any of the smaller islands will be their own sovereign states or part of the main Kingdom yet.

 

Anyway, as I play and develop the region and play out the CJ, I'll add dots of varying sizes to the map to mark locations of cities/towns/villages, as well as a star for the capitol city.  I'll probably also come up with provincial borders to add to the map, as well as provincial capitols.  And I may make another version of the map showing the highway/rail systems across the nation.

Benedict suggested I put my map here. From my city journal, Silent Rise.

[MTT9 187]

Wow! That map is amazing nandert

[kj3400 178]

I've revised my map of the route I'm making in Trainz (warning: map is ~6500 x 4600 pixels):
