Reply With QuoteGot it right Val, nice.
I saw a link to another forum post that Ascension has on his Bio page under his messages. You'll need to download Google Earth. It has an option under the ADD menu to place an overlay. One of the tabs on the menu that pops up allows you to assign latitude-longitude coordinates. Set the N and S to 90.0.00 and the E and W to 180.0.00. I hope I gave the right directions lol - I am away from the computer. Have fun!

Got it right Val, nice.

FYI it is in this thread, in case someone is looking. There are a couple of screen grabs of dialogs and such.

Places and Names
I ended up reconfiguring the borders. I wasn't happy with the last draft. I laid down the capitol cities and went through and placed the names of the countries and unexplored territories of the world. I have a list of the oceans and seas but haven't been happy with the color combination to warrant placing them on the map. Still working that out.
I like the fonts used, but may end up changing them out for something easier to read. Still debating what colors to use for those too. Anyway, I thought I would share my progress with you all.
Enjoy!

Looks like Seven Swordsmen; I like that font, too, even though it is named after an old Samurai movie.

You hit the nail on the head! Seven Swordsman! Cool looking font.

Compass Rose - Mileage Meter - Map Key - Map Logo
First time really trying to create a Mileage Meter, Map Key and a Map Logo in Photoshop. They are pretty ugly, but straight forward. The Compass Rose (or Skull) was one that I had hand drawn about 20 years ago and scanned in. I placed them on the map for the time being and will try and figure out how to piece them together. lol

I think it looks fine, you might consider putting some kind of background/frame around/behind the key - it gets a bit lost.
