You know, its really funny that you should name Oakland, "Oakley". It's only 42.3mi away. In fact, its on your map where the right most bridge that crosses over the East Bay river is. That bridge is the Antioch Bridge/Hwy 160, right on the Antioch/Oakley border.

lol, i didn't notice that. the reason i called it oakley is the following:

Oak(Oakland)+ley(Berkley)=Oakley
Berk(Berkley)+Land(Oakland)=Berkland

Kwandilibro: Your map is really coming on. i havent had internet recently so i haven't been able to post it, and I couldn't remember the little apple island. this is what i have so far:

The map for my Vice City topic was originally hand-drawn, which I scanned onto the computer. I added the text using the text feature on Photobucket (see below):




Eventually, with the help of Yunglive201, he created a computerized version of it:




Using Photobucket, I used the "Edit" feature, where I clicked on the "Effects" tab. I clicked the scroll arrows until I found the "Tint" tool, which is marked by a picture of a light-blue flower. I then chose the color pink, and applied it. For the text, I used the "text" tool under the "Decorate" tab. After the text box popped up, I checked a box saying "transparent", changed the font and color, and typed in the names of the cities, resulting in this map:




I made another map using YungLive's edit. I again used Photobucket to edit. Once the editing window was open, I clicked on "Adjust", and adjusted the lightness of the photo, by making is lighter to differentiate the black water from the dark grey landmasses. Once this was done, I clicked the "decorate" tab, and clicked on the "Fill Bucket", and selected a teal color. I then filled in the waterways with the fill bucket. After that, also in the decorate tab, I clicked on "Borders". Once the borders window opened, I clicked "Vignette/Matte" and adjusted the size and strength of the shadow, and it resulted in this map:

add the quays looping round to a country-like area which links back up to left part of it, thus expanding it slightly, and you're onto a winner. i love the design. the roads fit, they look right for GTA. Only thing i think it lacks (apart fro as i said the quays, is a bigger, more built up area....

That's my humble opinion, none of which is meant to sound negative
Man i love GTANEXT maps, especially when theyre well done

off the topic of making maps but wouldn't it be cool if the maps were satellite? Like so it looks like google maps except with icon

haha yeah!

[02fishera]

Heres my first attempt at making a map based on London and the surrounding area, its not quite finished yet but I'm sure it'll still look as cr*ppy when its finished as it does now.



As you can see, I've decided to surround the area with countryside rather than ocean for a change.

I like, but the Tames is too small !

Thanks, I rushed the Thames because I somehow nearly forgot to put it in, but I'll sort that out when I next work on it.
