I think it's pretty awesome that you got the map graphics pulled into a cgMap() object, but I didn't end up messing with that because objects (read: because I am a Neanderthal.)
The only thing you have to know about a map object
is how to set up the map coordinate space with it:
map -> Draw
That does it! Even Neanderthals ought to be able
to figure that out. ;-)
