We present 6″ (460 pc at a distance of 9.6 Mpc) resolution CO(J=1−0) map of the central region of the grand-design spiral galaxy M51 and very preliminary 4″ (180pc) resolution CO(J=1−0) map of the arm regions, using the Nobeyama Millimeter Array (NMA). The central 3kpc region (1') was mapped with a velocity resolution of 20km/s, and the rest with 10km/s.
