    Karro, the sign on the middle pole (the South Pole shared by both hemispheres) is just the abugida consonant+vowel for the word "south". Remember, guys, that the "down" hemisphere is rotated 180 degrees!



    I will also say that Karro is much closer to cracking this than alta, sorry about that.

    Are these numerals unique to this map with respect to placement on meridians/parallels, or are they generalized. I.e. if you had a map with a different projection, would the same numerals represent the same lines? A number of things seem to be relative to the point shared between both maps.
    These are numbers for a general graticule numbering system.

    I've noticed that you guys seem to miss some of the numbers. I will say here that if you can't find the numbers at the equator, it's usually up or down the meridian because there has been too much geography at the equator. And remember, zero is marked by the lack of zero, so there is one unmarked meridian and one unmarked longitude...

    Only one of guyanonymous's guesses is correct, but it's exactly spot on.
