All the regions border water... I suggest just changing the blue to another colour, maybe cyan.

If the blue colour confuses people to think the territoryes are under water, then I could change it to something more "dusty" ;)

The brown is definitely better than the blue, but it's also quite ugly haha. I'm not sure what other color would work though, and like I said, the brown is definitely better than the blue.

I like this, it puts a little twist on city maps. It'll be fun to watch it go through the foundry.

Surely there must be a better name than, "The pedestrian area" for a territory?

No I did not got lazy at all, I think ther was more than 100 names I could call that area, for those who know copenhagen centrum will say that "The pedestrian area" cover all of it.

According to your link, the main street is called Stroget. Sounds like a much better name, IMO.

Flapcake, said it before, but it is worth saying again. I like this map. But right now I have only one question - why does the top legend have that really thick black line under it when you have this nice thin line splitting it up.

Also, where did you get your icons from?

emm yes the legend line is worth looking at.

The metro icon have made my self, the ferry and train, dont remember (had them in my computer for ages) the airplane from photoshop, the sights are pictures that i have remodeled, painted, sliced, shaped and resized.

And no, people do not know what strøget is, but "the pedestrian area" at all know what is.

You could rename this one of two ways.

"No cars allowed" - fits in with the fun theme of the map.
"Pedestrianised area" - a better use of English.

Any of the three is good, but pedestrian is not the right word. You would need to change it to "the pedestrianised area".

i can't see the images. when i go to dropbox to see them it says: "Error (403) It seems you don't belong here! You should probably try logging in?"

try imageshack or photobucket as they're the best and most reliable image hosting sites.

Would it be possible to swap out the current Christiania flag for a flag on a pole or something that will make it clear its a flag, cause every time I look at it I see zany traffic light and not flag.

I don't see much more time in the Drafting room for this one.
