Hi all,

I am trying to create several maps of different terrains to study off-road navigation. I tried several tutorials online unsuccessfully. Is there an up-to-date tutorial that will instruct me on how to create a map and spawn it in BeamNGpy?

Thanks!

Hi @AngryKitten,

I suggest starting with existing off-road maps such as `Derby Arenas`, `East Coast, USA`, `Small Island, USA`, and `Industrial Site`. You can spawn any of these maps in BeamNGpy using the command below, for more information follow the [following link](https://github.com/BeamNG/BeamNGpy/tree/master#usage):

```python
scenario = Scenario('<MAP_NAME>', '<SCENARIO_NAME>')

```

Additionally, you can modify these maps or create your own using the BeamNG.drive [community forum](https://www.beamng.com/forums/terrains-levels-maps.27/), where you’ll find useful resources and discussions.

If you encounter issues when spawning your custom map with BeamNGpy, refer to this thread where a user had a similar question: [BeamNGpy and MOD](https://forum.beamng.tech/t/beamngpy-and-mod/107).

Hope this helps!
