In many different ways. Among them, you can use

You must be registered to see the links

to represent the different locations :

screen navigation:
    hbox:
       xpos 10 ypos 10
       imagebutton:
           auto "location1_%s.jpg"
           action Return( "location1" )
       [...]
       imagebutton:
           auto "locationN_%s.jpg"
           action Return( "locationN" )

Just show the "navigation" screen each time you need it, put it on an

, or

it on your main screen

You can use

and

to make each door on each location background clickable :

screen thisRoom:
    imagemap:
        auto "thisRoomBackground_%s.jpg"
        hotspot( 10, 10, 100, 100 ) action Return( "location1" )
        [...]
        hotspot( 210, 210, 100, 100 ) action Return( "locationN" )

And even with just these two variations, you can

And it's just three of the possibles variations of two of the possibles way to do this.

2) how can i do a city map to navigate

For this, imagemap is the better option, but still not the only one.

with a hover image that work in different resolution?

You don't have to care about this. To simplify, Ren'py always works at the resolution provided by the configuration file, then reworks the screen to fit the effective resolution. So the images will always be at the expected place, this whatever the window size is 3000x3000 or 800x640.

ty a lot. one info...in first example why u use return and not Call? for call room1 label?
with return don't work for me. with Call yes..ty a lot.

another info..for my navigation room menu i've used xalign yalign instead of xpos ypos.

i've done right§? it's the same? i need it on vbox in upper right monitor

Because it's the way I prefer. I have a better control over the game flow this way. But it's a matter of personal taste more than anything else.

another info..for my navigation room menu i've used xalign yalign instead of xpos ypos.

Both do the same. It's just that xpos/ypos works with pixels, so precisely place the object, while xalign/yalign works with percentage and place the object "around there".
