Hi all. I just want to let you know that I am making a new city named Ville de Desirs. This city will be a new challenge for me, and I want all of you to give me any suggestion. I am accepting ALL ideas. So far, I have begun construction on the entrance to the city. The city will soon link to Persil Town and possibly cross a bridge to Ville de’Ieau. This city will be a new and important addition to my country. Thank you all for making a wonderful community!

P.S. The updates will only show at a certain zoom.

I’ve felt a bit stuck in my normal mapping lately, but my home city irl just did a major revamp of their bus system so I’d been thinking a lot about buses and routes lately. I decided to make a QUARTA bus map for central Quentinsburgh based on the routes I’d listed out on the QUARTA wiki page!!

The PDF is here:

Technically this is “West-Central and Downtown Quentinsburgh”, since “Central” refers to the area in the very middle of the city, east of what’s shown on this map.

These routes are subject to change of course, but since the roads in the area other than the islands (hence the unnumbered bus routes) are pretty much complete, I thought now would be a good time to show you guys. Blue C routes are “Crosstown”/frequent service routes, the red are just regular local routes. Express buses aren’t listed yet. Gray in the background is QLine Metro & Metro BRT, and the green and light blue are streetcars that run through downtown.

Feedback on routing would be helpful.

I still need to do a lot to it, like add transit centers and subway stops, but I think the general idea here is pretty far along.

(Alas my old laptop recently got stolen so I lost the subway map I’d been working on for the last year… but hopefully I’ll be able to get started on that again at some point too)

Hi everyone,

As I planned, the downtown portion of my city has been completed and I now have to create some residential areas of my new projected city Lenox. It has turn out to appear great on the outside but looks quite rushed when zoomed in on, either way I did my best, I decided to leave New Atlantia and make Lenox maybe the best I’ve ever done!

If you would like to suggest what I should change in my city then, Proceed!

Hello. As i am writing this, i just finished deleting all 912 features on my island nation called Pogreenia. The reason is because i want to re-invent my nation.

My ideas for a new, re-invented Pogreenia

## Minor extensions east, southwest and northeast * I would like to have small land extensions made into the east, southwest and northeast portions of the country made for me. That is because i do not know how to do it. * And as always, when making land extensions, you always have to set a new 22km maritime boundary. I also do not know how to do it, so it will have to be done for me.

Quebec-style highway numbering

  • My new highway numbering system will be based off of Quebec’s system.

New country name

  • I would also change the country’s name, as “Pogreenia” sounds a bit corny to me. You can leave suggestions below.

Regards, -TheMapper27

Finnish and related languages seem to be well represented in OGF, but not yet very organized. I made a draft in the wiki to get an overview of the situation, to help develop a common history for Ugric / Yurelic languages and to help harmonize some content. Please let me know if I missed or misunderstood something. Thanks! Happy mapping to all! - LemonKing

The country of Peaceland is very incomplete, so please don’t comment on that. I only want to talk about Albert.

I have been working on the city of Albert for a while now, and I’m both proud and not satisfied with what I have made. While I love the downtown region of Albert, the road designs throughout the city feel off and unnatural. If anyone could help me figure out what to do, I’d appreciate it. Still, I’ve made a small bus map for Albert: I plan on extending all the lines shown in the map, but I only had bus routes for downtown as the roads everywhere else are subject to change.

I have also made a Wiki article for the city, if you want to read it.

I feel quite stuck. A little overwhelmed. A lot, actually. I unfortunately feel as though I have lost my fiery passion for mapping that once blazed prominently. I’ve found myself looking at the map of this world more than contributing to it. I feel like JOSM is too scary for me to use (i’m on a macbook), and that the iD editor only permits minimal detail. I’m bad with graphic design. I feel as though there is too much work involved to make Leresso a realistic-looking country. I don’t want to give it up, as I have come so far. But maybe giving it up is exactly what I need to get the fire going again. I just thought I would share this with the community of talented mappers to get advice as to where I should go. Any and all advice is welcome.
