The anchor symbol might use a tiny bit of anti alias, but that's all I can think of. Splendid work!
Sweet, Sweet.
Very nice.
Might I ask what fonts you used?

What image editing program did you use to create the map? I assume Photoshop and a graphics tablet that you mentioned using from a previous post. I like the map alot it has some interesting features.
The text in the lower left hand corner is hard to read.
Artist's Script for the main title text and paragraph, Avalon for the primary labeling, and Elphinstone for the secondary labeling. That paragraph has been driving me nuts for about an hour now...can't find any results that I like. I'm probably trying to do too much with it and should just keep it as a low opacity white but I wanted it to look like it was glowing and magical.

Maybe make it translucent and add a small black border more visible and a somewhat more translucent violet glow?
Here's the simplified version of the text.

I do prefer the simplified text because it is easier to read, but the map as a whole is incredible!
Great looking map. At first I had difficulties imagining what the end result would be like.. but this is a beautiful map (though more detailed textures would have made it even better).
Finally dropped my stubbornness and decided to drop style in favor of legibility. So I changed the Elphinstone font to Amerigo. This is why I hate labeling...it drives me bonkers. I believe that this is now good to go.
