Oh don't get me wrong, I didn't take it in a bad way - I meant "called attention to the shortcuts I am taking". I very much appreciate constructive critcism, always.

The Equirectangular projection (thanks for doing that) looks... weird. Not really unexpected, I guess. if I take one lesson from this, it's that I should work in euirectangular again in the future but always check the map in other projections and on Google Earth (nice and easy interactive sphere) - I did the later for some maps and it really helped reign in the worst problems near the equators.

I do wish GIS software was more... accessible. It seems any serious world building project really should use GIS, but it's just so much easier to just whip out Inkscape and get going...
