Learn about the SimCity 2000 map window (MPA) and its features, including data filtering and color codes for your city.
The map window in SimCity 2000 displays a map of your city with specific color codes: brown for undeveloped land, green for forested land, blue for water, black for developed land, and yellow for rubble. Depending on the map you choose, additional data layers can be displayed. A checkbox labeled "Show City in Window" allows you to filter data directly onto the city view, making it easier to identify the exact locations of various effects. In the DOS version, this checkbox is represented by an icon with blue tiles. There are 9 types of data viewable, each with potential options, though not all can be filtered directly onto the city.
- Use the "Show City in Window" checkbox to overlay data directly onto your city for precise location identification.
- Experiment with the 9 different data types to gain a comprehensive understanding of your city's status.
- Note that not all data types can be filtered directly onto the city view.
