    I don't know. It still seems lacking.

    Maybe thinking about it from the inside would help... If you were a new arrival at the cylinder and had just downloaded a map of the facility into your Augmented Reality rig, what would it look like? It could be cut into rectangles, but rings in an exploding view are possible, Given the size of an O'Neil, the detail on the overview map only has to be enough to show major landmarks and topography...
    Anyway, my two cents, I haven't tried one either. Yet.
    In space...no one can hear you whine...
    Help me make more maps!
