It's Microsoft Visio as eduardo88 stated above. It's supposed to be a program used for doing flow charts and simple maps... but there are a lot of tools to create shapes and lines. Instead of using their metro lines and stations, I created my own.

It's quite simple. If you have the program... start a new drawing. Then, take a screenshot of Google Maps, and the begin building the landforms over top. It does take a while to know how to use the program properly though. Or u could use the base map below... I was going to release the maps using this map but I decided not to for some reason. I think I wanted more space so that I could put the station names. This map is quite close to scale versus the ones I posted earlier. It does include the major roads and bridges in Metro Vancouver. And yes I plotted every single damn line on that map... Haha you could see some of the roads a little off and slanted. Oh wells... Have fun!
