More canal building, Viskasteel, Aventiure, and More

 I took a small break from mapping as I built my second canal with a small fort/lighthouse. This one is closer to Greenborough and helps to connect it with the rest of a large sea.




Once I got back to traveling, I found that the direct path from Egypt to Greenborough is entirely over land. Then I found an overland route from Odonhull to Viskasteel. From there, I explored the water ways around Viskasteel a little before finding a route from  there to Finntown. Finally, I took the airship to Aventiure and mapped a route to Alcotown and sailed again out of there.

Here's the map. Click on it to enlarge and then right-click open in a new tab to see the full exported image.

While this is my first post of my map on my new blog it is my fourth exported version. The primary motivation for this map is personal use, but I thought it would be best to share in case others found it helpful. Navigation by sea or land is the emphasis of this map (in contrast to building). In fact its earliest versions were focused on sea travel. I had recently learned how to use the sailboat mod and wanted to keep track of where I could sail to. Soon I was discovering several cities near Haven. That lead to wanting to track other types of routes between the cities. The method of creating this map is simple. I take screen shots as I travel. Later, I use the coordinates displayed in the screen shots to mark points on a canvas in Inkscape. The color of the line indicates what method of travel I used between the points. The result is an easily created accurate map of ways to travel from point to point in Your Land. Due to the way it is constructed, some care should be taken in interpre...

Trips 30 - 35 plus canal building

Image
 I create my map by logging trips. On each trip I take screenshots which records the coordinates. I use the coordinates from the screenshots to draw each trip. Then I color code the segment of the trip according to the method of travel and there we have our map. The basic idea of my map making is that if I record enough trips like this on my map then I'll get a rough idea of where the landmasses and seas are on the map. Below is a map of my 30th through 35th trips. I've also built my first canal linking two large seas.   And now my Fifth exported map. As usual, click on the image and then right-click "Open Image in New Tab" to see the full image.
