It looks good but there are problems with the bridges...the shadows. Using objects often produces messed up shadows due to rotating things to fit what you want. However, until you learn how to make your own objects I would say so far so good.

If the radiance of a thousand suns was to burst at once into the sky, that would be like the splendor of the Mighty One...I am become Death, the Shatterer of worlds.

Eventualy thats what I want to do (make my own objects) this will be a practice at designe and at general cuty building.
Layout practice is a good thing. Looks like your using the city-designer thingy. That's a good place to start but it will always have weird streets. Use that as a loose framework and don't stick to it too rigidly.

I was using, This tutorial I tried your's for city mapping but between wrangling kids and other stuff going on I could not pay it the attention it deserved.
Also remeber I am using gimp and having to translate the PS tuts. Still getting use to some of the tools.
ok back to the work at hand. Acensions correct, every time I looked at that map my eyes are drawn to the miniscule details that are slightly off. The bridge drop shadows, the art of the buildings vary widely and are obviously mashed into the picture. So I went purist with the TUT and did my map in acordance to his. I still modified some of the things, textures used and what not. Oh hey for those with gimp the coffee bean texture that comes with it set to multiply over a nice road brown looks very good. I also added a rock in hardlight for my roads.
Heres a cleaned up version with a title and some artistic touches... Ok just one art touch.
