google map of the railway lines in Edinburgh. The line running West to East through the middle is the currrent east coast line; most of the remaining lines have been either converted to cycle tracks, but some are still used for freight. (Blue lines represent tunnels.)
...a European map for sale at Ikea. I was happy with how the angle squeezing in the whole continent.
In August, we go to New Mexico. We're meeting my mother's side of the family. After a few days of that, we're transforming into vacation mode. Right now, I'm obsessed with looking at maps, comparing rental car rates, looking at old videos on restaurants we want to visit... but in the back of my mind is the fact that I'm meeting family for what may as well be the first time. These are people whose names I've heard, and who I've apparently met at some point, but I don't remember any of them. It's about time, though, Maybe that's why I'm filling my head with thoughts of the Bobcat Burger Cafe and households carving wooden birds in Taos. It's sort of my way of taking my mind off of the implications of meeting all of these people. In one of my favorite books, the absolute best line is "England was a peculiar-tasting smoked fish full of spikes and bones, and nobody would ever tell him how to eat it." Maybe New Mexico will be my own personal "Ellowen Deeowen."
These contour maps are simple to make - you need a function that takes two arguments (say x and y) and returns a third value (say z), which defines the location of that point on a colour map. If you get the function and the colour scheme right, you can get attractive abstract patterns.
This function is something like sin(x) * tan(y) = z.
I took the Roanoke Valley BUS Metro map and simplifed it down to resymble the New York City Subway Metro map.
It was fun and new for me. I found it funny how it's hard for me to symplify things but really easy to make things more complex. So i was stretched in that reguard.
I used mainly the pen tool and a few symbles. I liked having to tp use dashed lines.
One of the new walking maps that have appeared in Woking town centre.
Woking (Rail) Station - Direct links to London and Portsmouth. What about Southampton?
Woking "Bus Station" - even though it's not a bus station and has never been referred to as a bus station in any bus publicity.
Also has regular bus services to... Woking.
Woking Railair coach link - To Gatwick... via Guildford on the train? Half hourly to Heathrow, even though it was cut to hourly for most of the day in October 2014.
Hopeless.

Map accompanying article entitled "Spirit of the 'Blue Pullman'"from Modern Railways (April 2003), .
Right after the Personal Data page, the Disclaimer page, the Contents page is this Map Legend page. Each city will have different legend like this.
Blue and white dashed lines are railroads. Blue dots are schools.
