But, can't we rotate the maps???
Cause it's very difficult to design a road path without rotate the map first.

And can't we upgrade our train station???
In early years, maybe I only need one track. But after that i need more tracks on the same station???

How can we upgrade our fleet (trains / buses).
Are we just put the old one to depot and buy another new ones???
Or we can sell the older models to the market???

And finally, are there others maps???

1) Why do you have trouble building a track without rotating the map (and I don't remember if it was possible to rotate it at all)? If some building or trees are blocking your view, make them transparent, that should help quite a bit.

2) You can either anticipate the need for a bigger station by starting with 2- or more tracks at each station, or wait until the need for expanding your station presents itself and hope that by that time you'll have plenty of money anyway.
Be careful however, if some local authority has become angry with whatever you've been doing, you might not be able to rebuild your station once you've destroyed it... Always check how the city rates you before destroying stations, airports, etc.

3) To upgrade your fleet, it's indeed necessary to bring the old unit to the depot, sell it there (in the case of trains, only sell the engines, you don't need to replace the cargo cars), then build a new one. The newly built unit will automatically copy the route settings from the previous one. You'll get some money for the old units you've sold, but it's not much...

4) What about the random maps? I'm not sure whether they are completely random, or picked from a prebuilt set, but I've never had the feeling I'd seen a particular map before, so I guess they're built randomly from scratch.
