World Map shaped like North America?
« on: April 19, 2011, 03:29:45 PM »
Anyone know where I can get a world map shaped like North America... or the entire world for that matter?  Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Search around google, you might be lucky enough to find a project with such world map. You may even be able to inject the map file into your project.

Yeah, google was my first move.  It came up with nothing, so I figured I'd ask.  Thanks for contributing, though.  Anything is greatly appreciated:)

I think you may have a problem finding a 100x100 map that is shaped like North America- it wouldn't give you room for much detail. What you might want to do is create multiple maps- one map per province or state. But since that would make your world very, very large, you might want to employ some sort of transportation system that way you can map less. I'm not sure what the concept of your game is, though, if that would be feasible. To be honest, I don't think that you're going to find a ready-made map or North America.

You could always get a picture of north america. Then reduce the colours, import it as a panorama and use it as a background picture.
Just a thought.

@zerl maps can be as large as 500x500.

And purple beat me to it. You could use "destination" map. Not sure what to call it. Similar to Donkey Kong Country. Sadly, that's the best example I can think of.

Actually Donkey Kong Country would be very similar to the concept I have in mind.  I don't really plan mapping out every inch, just a couple more key destinations.  Not really even whole cities or anything, just parts of them.  Again, thanks for all the input, I appreciate any help I can get:)
