This is related to Mapping how?

Can a mod please delete the 'top games coming soon' posts from this thread?

Awesome thread but stuff like that is like smearing sh*t on your new GTA 5 disc... you know, you just don't do it.

Not sure if this has been posted so sorry if so.

 

I kept looking at one of the new screen shots of downtown Los Santos and I think I see part of the light rail line. Looks to be elevated and parallel to the freeway. Not sure if my eyes are playing tricks, but it looks like Catenary to power a light rail line.

Love the work on the rest of this thread. Thanks for helping keep the excitement level up through this long wait.

Yep, it could be a rail line going through here.

We supposed that the train line goes from north to south, from the LA River near the City Hall to the Harbor and the Gerald Desmond Bridge.

I hope there will be passanger trains as well, because we have seen only cargo ones so far. Metro system would also be nice.

Thank you!, I might do a new countryside map, I plan using most of your map with your permission (if you grant it), now I have a different version in mind than the last one I did in February.

I don't think it will be that big. That would be nearly 4 and a half times higher than the Rotterdam Tower in IV.
