This is only an attempt to answer the question, **if** I understood it correctly. You want to *"cover the actual road connection between cities (...) based on the GoogleMap"*. **First step**: find the coordinates of the two cities you want to use as *edges* in your graphic: c1 = CityData["Uppsala", "Coordinates"] c2 = CityData["Marsta", "Coordinates"] > {59.86, 17.64} > {59.63, 17.84} **Second step**: define the center of the map: center = (c1 + c2)/2 > {59.745, 17.74} **Third step**: `Import[]` the actual Google Maps image based on the center you've specified Import["http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center="<>ToString[center[[1]]]<>"," <>ToString[center[[2]]]<>"&zoom=10&size=400x400&sensor=false&maptype=roadmap"] ![enter image description here][1] I'm still wondering what exactly you want with *"set the calculated distance as EdgeCost value of created edge"*...
