One of the most important features of the new SimCity 5 is the map overlay mechanic. Basically, in the bottom right-hand corner there is a pop-up menu with thirty icons that correspond to each of the available data maps that allow you to see -- in real time -- the breakdown of statistics for your city. These maps cover analysis for each of the following categories:
- Top Line - Population Map
- Top Line - Happiness Map
- Top Line - Building Density Map
- Second Line - Residential Map
- Second Line - Commercial Map
- Second Line - Industrial Map
- Second Line - Land Value Map
- Second Line - Industrial Tech Map
- Third Line - Power Map
- Third Line - Water Table Map
- Third Line - Sewage Map
- Fourth Line - Waste Disposal Map
- Fourth Line - Fire Risk Map
- Fourth Line - Health Map
- Fourth Line - Crime Map
- Fourth Line - Education Map
- Fifth Line - Germs Map*
- Fifth Line - Air Pollution Map*
- Fifth Line - Ground Pollution Map*
- Fifth Line - Wind Map*
- Fifth Line - Radiation Map*
- Sixth Line - Bus Map*
- Sixth Line - Train Map*
- Sixth Line - Streetcar Map*
- Sixth Line - Boat Map*
- Seventh Line - Coal Map*
- Seventh Line - Ore Map*
- Seventh Line - Oil Map*
- Seventh Line - Recycling Map*
- Seventh Line - Tourism Map*
* Because the beta didn't have things like streetcars and boats, I didn't bother to take screenshots of those feature maps (they were empty). Once the game launches, I'll update this page.
Here are screenshots of the data map overlays that were populated on a city I threw together for the purpose:
