Since modding got on the way and more useful and pretty items come along, I expect that more serious Journals will be started as well... Showing an overview of a map is pretty hard, so I made some templates (*.PSD) to help us along as our story-lines unfold...

You can just shoot in a cropped minimap and comment it, or add tiny icons to show what is what and where...

These are just the basic versions, there are also larger ones (600x600), and more map icons and stuff...
Check out the whole download-bundle here (http://banishedpeople.freeforums.org/spicing-up-your-minimap-t116.html) (plus some how-to's)...
The templates are just that - templates... feel free to tweak the PSDs to anything you prefer.
* not sure where to put this, I leave it to the admin... :)
