I’ve updated all 4 map files in the original post to now also include the fixes for Honolulu and Iwo Jima.
Please note that didn’t go with the realistic Iwo Jima (as almost non of the islands have realistic borders), but I only flipped it upside down and corrected the light shading for the new orientation.
@vodot: thanks for your help!

Nice find djensen! I do have a background in EE and programming microcontrollers and such. If only I had enough time available…
I’ve finished repositioning the territory names and roundels. After looking at a few maps I noticed Moscow itself could be moved more centrally and still adhere to real maps. So that was a nice surprise!
As scan always have some scanning noise, I prefer to replace the roundels with new crisp artwork. By going though all of them I noticed three things:
Romania, Bulgaria and Holland have their coat of arms in the roundel while that wasn’t present in the flag
Spain and Portugal have their coat of arms off center in the real flag, but they are placed in the center of the roundel
Germany doesn’t have the Iron Cross in their national flag, but it happens to be their marine flag. And as it is very iconic I prefer to keep it that way
What are your thoughts on what to do for these 3 observations?
As far as I’m aware the map is finished! Finally!
Please review the full size map at this link and give any feedback. I will go over it once more myself in a couple of days before releasing the map as final.

@Tjoek Well now that you mention it, Holland looks a bit different with the crest in the roundel. I’m not noticing a second roundel different lol
1.) Holland has a different crest I took from the official royal standard from that time. The blue shield in the middle of it is actually the same as in the original artwork.
2.) Persia has a slightly different roundel as well. The red is less strong and the lion is smaller. According to the internet (wikipedia) this is the right flag from that era. The one HBG has for sale has a larger lion and stronger red, but that flag is from a few decades earlier.
Insane level of detail on these ships! Well done.
How many years of painting miniatures do you have behind you?
I’m blown away by the level of detail. You almost forget how tiny these miniatures are when you look at your pictures. Keep up the good work!
@kevArs no problem using my map for this. I’ve actually created an app like this myself as well. Just not had the time to share it here yet.
My approach is slightly different, but similar effect.
What technology / programming language is behind your app?
@vodot Very cool customisations you did for the original map! Love your creative take on the different areas.
