Take a look at the map for my new campaign world.
Wow.. I was looking around thinking "This is pretty neat." until I saw the fullscreen button and realized I could use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out. That is absolutely amazing.
Also, your game world seems pretty intriguing.. Are the gates like magical teleports, I'm guessing? Are they controlled by some organization that charges a fee for their use?

You can read more in the articles on the right side of that page. There used to be an overarching empire that built the gates, but that empire has gone into decline. Now each city state controls their own gates.
The gates are indeed permanent teleport gates allowing for instantaneous travel. Depending on the gate, the owner (the city or private owner for the case of small gates) may charge a fee.
That's pretty cool. Nice stuff. Looking forward to reading about your world on the site.
I recognize Sapiento from Cartographer's Guild - he's one of the best.
