Given the enthausium etc in this thread, could the Lindens make the up-to-date world maps available in game available on the web site? Preferably somewhere public so people could wget (or whatever) them automagically for their own nefarious creative poripses? If I'm asking for the world, I might as well ask for the moon too. It would be really cool if you could offer the basic world map (at a nice high-rez) and various transparent overlays for example, telehubs, new stuff, land for sale, etc.

Oooh, transparent overlays! That's a great idea, and it'd save on bandwidth, too.  |

There is a relatively spiffy (and up to date) world map on one side of the telehub in Periwinkle. Now if we could just grab inworld and outworld copies of it.

Erm, if I think it's the map you're talking about that's been on the major telehubs for a while, that's the proposed expansion map they posted back in June.
Sim names are correct, but sim ratings aren't. And the geography is probably off.
I'll attach the map again, IM me in-world if you want the one I've already uploaded (to save the L$10 fee).

Good point Bino ... I had not recognized some of the problems. But it still looks like the most up-to-date map I have seen. Thanks for the JPG!!!

Thanks Bino for the Map.
So at one time Olive was a SIM-box.
It's neat to see today's map as compared with the earlier one. Will you be doing an update?
I'd be willing to give you a modest donation to help.

Ah, sorry, not my map, just a copy of the JPEG I grabbed off the website way back when. I thought I'd heard that SLUniverse was working on a geography/cartography spot about SL, but all I see is the forums. I don't plan on updating the map, as it isn't mine, or at least, if I do something, it'll be more primitive than that  --Bino |
