don't kill me, isaiah, but i think u're try to cover far too large an area. the miami of art deco and gloria estefan is not the miami of the outer suburbs. the latter dominate the map to its detriment. the miami that i'd like to see is one of more detail, from coral gables in the far south-west to north bay village in the far north, cutting out everything north and west of these limits. where are the famous places that are the essence of the city: coconut grove, ocean drive, the biltmore hotel or even liberty city?

cropping away all of the outer suburbs and expanding miami beach widthways will add atmosphere by allowing more of the better-known places to appear as playable regions.

it's a pity that this is miami without south beach though (arguably its most famous attraction of all). to fix this, a to-scale map does not work at all because we end up with downtown in the bottom left, miami beach in the top right and a whole expanse of non-playable blue water in the middle. i tried cutting out most of the water and joining up ur downtown map with a miami beach map by using a blue dotted line to represent the macarthur causeway. it looks rather ugly just now, but does a map along these lines work for u?

By the roads. Which is something that needs to be discussed.

Do you have any ideas on your preferred option?
