Reply With QuoteThe grid is due to Lat/Long on the Earth being 69 miles per degree at the equator...round up that's 70. So each square is 70 miles...hence 210/420. I think I may just modify either the grid or scale because several people have asked about that ;-)
Looks quite good so far. Lets see the labels.
21 mile grid? curious.
Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go..

Well, looking at the shape of the land, I'd say it looks like an archipelago like the Philippines, or the Kerguelen or Falkland Islands rather than a small scale world or continent map. Probably very rugged and rocky, and quite possibly volcanic, either at a hot spot (Like the Kerguelens) or a triple junction (The Philippines). Or it's a seriously bruised and battered bit of shelf that's been pushed up to the surface (The Falklands)
So you might consider reducing the size by a factor of 10 or so. That coastline would feel more at home if it were 300-400 km across.
Hope you don't mind, I merged your two threads as they are of the same map.
