I've been working on this on and off for a while now so thought I ought to get round to posting it.
That's a very nice map design you've got there; simple yet elegant. How'd you make it?

Here is a map I made yesterday for a long running game where I restricted myself to passenger transportation.
Here is a PNG rendering of the SVG:

A text-editor and a lot of patience. I drew a sketch of the map with pencil and recreated that drawing as an SVG by manually specifying all the coordinates.

That's a cool tool actually. Very nice. I will give this one a go for my next project

Network map from my current game

I used MS Visio for this one. It covers about one third of a 512x512 sized map, so there is still room for improvement and more lines :D

I made a map of my network using, as you recommended, Dia. I also made another one using the Metro Map creator. It's a British Isles scenario beginning in 1935, and the maps show my network in January 1944

The Dia version. Red arrows are the London City Circle, while the green arrows are bus lines.

Its pretty nifty, although I found it gets a bit unwieldly when the map is larger/more complicated. I also ran into a problem exporting a whole high detail file, and thus had to stitch together a few lower detail files to create mine.

Unless you've got multiple "Tring"s in the game, I suspect that map may be a little unrealistic...

Haha good spot, I think the one on the black line should be Rotherham. There's also Hastings Piccadillu and winchesster...

A mashup of the Metro Map Creator (http://beno.org.uk/metromapcreator/#) and MS Paint (logo). Somehow, it looks quite good.

Sorry to bump this thread from the dead but I have a question for the cartographers of the OTTD community:

What's the best way to scale things? I'm trying to map out one of the major metropolitan areas in my current game but the mix of regional and intercity trains mixed in with trams has really confused me.

It's probably best not to try to make your map "to scale", it generally makes more sense to try to make it topologically representative. Don't be afraid to drastically expand complex areas to give you more room to make things look neat and uncluttered.
Also, you could use different colour or thickness of line to indicate local services/trams, and you could use a smaller font for the names of local tram stops.

Okay, so, here is my a network map from my most recent game. It's a German Game, and this is the S-Bahn Network for the City of Northeim. The Map itself is in a combination of both German and English. (Please excuse the German, I'm not sure as to how good it is, I used Google Translate! :lol: )

Very nice! And the German sentences correctly: „Alle grauen Linien und Bahnhöfe dienen nur dem Regional- und Intercity-Verkehr der Deutschen Bahn“ and „ICE-Züge zurzeit an diesem Bahnhof ausgesetzt“. „Bauarbeiten im Gange“ is correct German, but „im Bau“ would normally be used, I think.
