I'd say, we store the Longitude and Altitude of the towns. After some
mathematics we should be able to calculate the route. Perhaps, with some
more mathematics, we would be able to store (dangerous) Areas on the
world by some vector calculation. For a more individual map we could
also save the map into an picture format, killing two birds with one
stone: graphical interfaces can draw the map easily and we can form the
landscape just by using different colours - which would be an easy
editing. So we only got to store the towns x- and y-coordinates and
that's all folks. Draw a line from town A to town B, look which colours
are beneath this line, calculate speed, possible hazards, etc. The only
problem would be how to explain, why the carriers dumbly fly into the
pirate's nest every time instead of shipping around... ;o)

Phew. Enough for today, gotta work a little bit now.

And if, you couldn't stop us. Trust me :o)
