This is my first map, so don't expect much. I'm mainly looking for suggestions on a few topics and how to make my map(s) better. Being my first map, I learned a lot from designing Trek. My later adventures in the realm of mapmaking will most likely come out better, especially if I can get some suggestions on what I am doing wrong. I haven't gotten a hold of shading and great polygon placement yet, so I know those flaws are there. I also know that there is an oddly placed death poly on the bridge. For some reason I could not select it to change it's properties. Trek does not include any bot waypoints. I couldn't be bothered to create those on my first stab at mapmaking.
I updated quite a few things. Some primitive shading was added along with new scenery, a few more polygons, and a redone bridge that doesn't kill you! ;D
Here is the overview of the map:

Here's the pack with map, scenery, and textures:

A few questions. What is the best way to make a bridge? My attempt turned out extremely bouncy. Is there a way to hide scenery objects? I had some trouble making final adjustments after the scenery was placed. If there is no such option, I'll just put scenery on last.
Thanks for your time. =)
