John Morrow:  Providing something that looks that good isn't the problem.  Spending the time and effort to make something look that good then finding out that very few people even wanted it, now that's the problem.  I don't doubt that my style will be appreciated for the most part, but appreciation and marketability are not necessarily in the same boat, which is why I want the input from the very people I'm doing this for.I wasn't planning on including a grid or scale on overland maps unless I thought it would be absolutely necessary.  Indoor maps will almost always have a scale and grid.Please keep the input coming, I'm actually getting some great ideas!  My first release is already partially completed, and it should be a good one!</blockquote>
