[EVA] Any maps of the post-Second Impact world?

[joedoebell]

I apologize.  I jumped to conclusions when I saw the
"Tokyo shuttle" caption on the map and assumed it was
Tokyo.  Actually the map has several landmarks named
after Yokohama:

"Yokohama Region Administration Center"
"Yokohama ___ Technical College"

There are also others that I can't even read that
well.  After trying to prove to myself that it was
Tokyo, and failing, I decided to check out Yokohama
and found this:

Check out the "Yokohama Station Area" map.  On it I
found points of interest the same as the map in
Evangelion.

http://www.evafics.org/images/Yokohama3.jpg <-- near
the start of the map in Eva.

http://www.evafics.org/images/Yokohama2.jpg <-- a
little ways more down and before Gaghiel appears.

Points of interest on both maps:

1) The Sotetsu (Main building in the Eva map, and
shopping center near the train station in the tourists
map).  I read that it's usual for there to be places
to shop near the rail stations, but now that I've lost
the source I can't convincingly make this point.
Consider this ambiguous, but there are still 5 other
shared landmarks.
2) Kiyoken (no idea what this is).
3) Yokohama Plaza Hotel (in the Eva map it's just
called the Plaza Hotel, but note its similar location
to Kiyoken).
4) Sky building.
5) Tsukijibashi.
6) Tsuruya-cho (appears on map Yokohama3 along with
the tourist map).

The maps are different, but they do serve different
purposes as well, so that has to be taken into
account.   With at least 5 or 6 landmarks shared
between them, though, I have to believe the schematic
in Eva is of Yokohama.

So now it doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense
for them to be passing over Yokohama, at least
considering this map and yours.  Unless for some
reason they're going over japan and then around to New
Yokosuka (Odawara).  Seems like a rather strange path
if they're coming from Germany.  Especially when Gendo
says the "package" left from Sasebo "yesterday".

Guess the map was tossed in by Gainax at the last
minute without much thought.
