Great map Mimi!

I see the water is the stock pattern, but so nicely distorted I could barely tell. How did you manage that, with iwarp, or some other process?

Also, I like the icons. Are they something you created yourself?

Regarding text, I have completely switched to inkscape for adding text to maps. I import the final map as an image into inkscape then create all the text on a new layer, then exporting the text as a transparent svg back into gimp as a layer for final effects.

Nice first post, have some rep (And it is good to see another gimp user here )
