Tube Style Map for Tourism - Does this Make Sense?

Somerset now offers a “tube style” map of the tourist destinations in the area. The idea is to play off the famous London transit map and drive visits. There’s one challenge: there’s no “tube” in Somerset. Further, the longest “line” on the map is 85 miles and requires a vehicle, so far as I can tell. And, as you might expect, the map itself does not lend itself to navigation for a car. The “guides” for each line have no streetmaps, either.
