I don't like Sprawl Sites. Archetypes and contacts are almost the sames as
in the SR2 screen, maps are not good (IMO), especially the matrix codes and
the encounters are... Beurrr...
I never heard of this one. What is the detail level of maps ? Do they all
fit in a 205* environment ? Is there anything in addition to maps ?

Good idea. We should classify them by locations. The first group would be
the security rating (AAA to Z) and the second the place where it takes
place : Street, Bar, etc.
I'll think about some ideas and will report it.
