I was thinking about making a website with driver maps. Similar to Google Earth but with Driver. People could add links and videos to certain locations.
i don't know if this would be useful, i'm working on a similar project for GTA Vice City and San Andreas, but there is a lot more stuff to do in those games.

Driver is a hard game to modify since no one can extract/open a majority of the files. It would be good however, if someone could open the .lev files.

yeah, I was achually planning to do something like that with the DPL list using the Google Maps API. But that was with the real city, matching up in-game locations with the real thing.

If you were to use an in game map, that would be awesome too.
People could link content from a particular area.
Not exactly the same but I was planning on a similar thing with the DriverWiki. It would be interesting to see how you would approach this project.

Maybe we should just take the standard maps of the cities and customize them, no ?

sounds a bit boring and highly un-interactive to me.
Mario's idea is pretty good! Lets see how interactive it can get :)

Yeah, Mario's idea is good but how we can create a map for Driver ? How We'll open the level's file ?

No, he isn't modifying the games maps.
He is creating a website where people can put pointers onto a certain location and put a picture when a user scrolls over it or something similar such as a video or a link.

So it has to be a flash, right ?

It could be javascript, php, flash (actionscript), .NET and a few other languages out there! But javascript is proably the most suitable :)

this is how it should look like.

only Videos, images and Wikipedia links work at the moment.
also, you can shift + click to add a location, but your submissions will not be accepted because i haven't made a php script for that yet.
