It still seems a lot of people don't understand what I mean (maybe because I'm asking for something that is too obvious or maybe I'm asking for something that is impossible).
What I am talking about is that I want to use the Google Maps API to design my own geographical area. Now why on earth would I want to do that? Well because Google Maps are good at showing a little of a lot but I want to do the opposite, I wanna zoom in real close on a small geographical area and in that area I wanna build a much more detailed map and thus since the current area isn't that detaield or even very accurate I'd rather start with a clean, green canvas and use Long,Lat or X,Y to draw roads, buildings and whatnot using SVG or whatever Google Maps is using.
Now is that possible?
Also to reply to your computer game simile, for the record I've been involved in a few minor computer games projects (one that was a 3D shooter network game using Multicast which was actually pretty advanced). I've been involved in building several advanced solutions using Java or C#, also I've developed a program currently on the market for physiotherapists and other hand-injury specialists in Visual Studio MFC with focus on user-centered design for my Master's Thesis. I'm absolutely not saying this to brag as I'm sure there are a lot of talented programmers here but perhaps some of you could tone down the sarcasm treating me as a n00b?
