This is cool, how did you manage to do it? Looks so professional. I'd love to see a highway ring around the business disctrict and finishing the outer ring in the northern part of the map, but this is just my taste, looks cool anyway.

The M-5 will serve as a partial "ring road". The map as shown only includes the tiles that are thus far developed. The region as a whole is over twice this area with a bay that wraps around. It will become clearer as I develop more of the region.

As for making the map itself, I might write a tutorial. In a nut shell, I took a screen shot of the traffic region view, pasted it into a layer in my graphics program, altered the perspective so that it is a top-down view, and then traced the roads and coastlines over it. I took all the colours from Google Maps.

[s][color=#ff00ff]Can't wait to see it developed more and hopefully see it one day implemented in to an actually game.[/color][/s]

[color=#ff00cc]Never mind.. just looked at the last entry.. Wow .. that is even more amazing.[/color]

[color=#ff00cc]I'm going to save both pictures to use for inspiration purposes.[/color]

@Fox: I am glad to offer some inspiration. Do you have a city journal up?

Great street map. I love that it is on the sim's grid, and not 'our' orthogonal view.
