There are allot of other things I would like to have on the map (ASDB, FSDB, Offices of SFFY, The New Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, HMS Bounty), but I have to draw the line at 14 points of interest, much more than that and you start loosing the map to red dots and labels.
As for Skywalker Division, I have that marked in Lucas valley which is several miles to the north of this map. However if you look in the upper left corner you'll see that it hasn't been forgotten.

Maybe point out Starfleet Medical as a separate building or location. (It's probably just in Starfleet HQ though.)
Harry, I got the impression the Offices of San Francisco Yards was actually the orbital complex in TMP. I suppose there could be a land-based office considering the name.
If you want to make the map a 2380 era one, you could add the USS Voyager memorial museum.
It wasn't, but the exterior plate was taken in Hong Kong.

I wondering about a Wolf359 memorial?
I imagine RW memorials are much like WWI memorials are here in Britain, in that every town has one and it lists all the local boys and girls lost in the war. However, given that San Francisco is apparantly the base of Operation for Starfleet in the 22nd Century I imagine it would list all the casualties and organise them according to which ship, regiment or division they were assigned to.
As for Wolf 359, I imagine there would be some kind of memorial made, maybe in the grounds of Starfleet Command, but not in the early 2300s.

Andrew: Like Voyager, Wolf 359 is past the timeframe of the map.
Kris: Awesome work, there! This is quite literally the first time I've seen someone actually try to fit in a map of the terrestrial locations.
I've got one nit, but it's probably something that you can't solve yourself. I always thought that "Starfleet Command" and "Starfleet Headquarters" were synonymous. Maybe it's just my Ameri-centricism, but here in the US we've only got one HQ, at the Pentagon. But since the two were separate buildings both shown in different movies, I wonder if Starfleet might've decided to just move their location...

Starfleet Command = the Admiralty Starfleet Headquarters = where the work gets done
Incidentally, I've already drafted set blueprints for the main entrance lobby of the Starfleet Command building with a Wolf 359 memorial renovated onto the inner wall. Each is a half-model (like the early ones in the E-D conference room) of the ship, below that is a replica of its dedication plaque, and below that is the full list of those who died aboard (or disappeared/were assimilated).

I take it Picard was not invited to the memorial's commencment ceremony.
