I wonder if anybody could help with a map around the area of Cork Ireland. Reputed to have one of the largest deepwater harbours in the world. If it is possible I would prefer 4x4 large tile size and as accurate as possible. I know its alot to ask but seeing some of the maps that are recreated to scale it is something I would like.

A pic of the area I would like if it is at all possible.


Hopefully somebody would like to try  ;)

there's a cuppa in it for you :D

I know the area very well, so if you need some ground perspective, let me know.  I also have a nautical map of it somewhere which shows the depth of the channels and some terrain features, I can have a look through my archives if you like.

I'd normally take this on myself for you, but I'm heading away next week...
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it

Thank you very much folks for your interest. :thumbsup:
To be honest there is no rush with this. $%Grinno$%

I spent around 5 years travelling from the UK to Cobh to work with a good friend of mine so I know the area as well as my home...many's a time we got a bit lathered in Murphy's on the Monkstown road  :D :D and spent quite a bit of time sailing around Kinsale and down to Castletownsend in the summer.

Thanks for the info lee. I grew up in Ballincollig but my parents moved to Bandon during my teenage years ( goodness that soooooooo long ago now) Tell me are you a Murphy's, Beamish or  Guinness man? Sailing around Kinsale , oh you lucky man. Hope you ate in the Fish Gourmet capital of Europe? A little too commercialised for me now but thats "progress" or you. But a wonderful little seaside town.

that was the best DATA i found for this area, do you still want this map? or u want me make it a bit bigger?

TheTeaCat

Oh my. Wow that is wonderful. Thank you so much. It looks great to my eye.

I would very much like this map. You ask do I want it biggger? As i am not sure of the size of your current render I do not know if I can answer that question until i know the size you have made? I was hoping for a region about 4x4 large tiles if that is any help?

Thanky you once again for you help :thumbsup:

the size of this map is 4x3 large tiles and ive added some deep to the rivers if you want make harbours  ;)

Here is the SC4M file, for to get the map you need SC4 Mapper or Terraformer  :)
