Are you going to mark whre the detail maps are on the world map eventually? I didn't manage to place them all correctly.
I don't yet have a map showing all of the regional coverages, but the KML file in the original post should be a good start (if you have Google Earth), as it links all of the regional maps in, and you can find any of them in the included directory.Originally Posted by Lwaxana

HR- Question for you.
Was Oahu the basis for the island in this map? I thought that when I first read this thread, and with GP mentioning Hawai'i, I jumps out at me even stronger.
The Hawai'ian island chain was a strong influence for this region. Round-ish islands with volcanoes in the center, jungles on the windward sides and deserts on the leeward sides. These islands are a bit bigger than the Hawai'ian islands, but I think that pattern should carry over okay. Place names here are loosely based upon ancient Egyptian, however, which I think makes a nice contrast.

The atlas style maps are incredible. The first time seeing these maps is what made me decide I had to be a member of this community. I can't wait for the tutorials to be completed on how Rob did these.

Thanks, Rob!

The KML is not much of a help, as the detail maps with litte or no coastline are even less placable for me there. I gues I'll have to wait)
But they are all marked with lat/long indications on the grid. That would be enough to nail them down surely ?
