May I suggest adding the data for Category:New Brunswick, Category:Nova Scotia & Category:Prince Edward Island next? They have their own maps on the category pages, so would be easy to add. Category:Rhode Island would be easy too. :)
- Sure, but I really like recognizable shapes, so I'd first create a map of Canada (as the toplevel region) and then add its subregions bit by bit. I see that Robyn has created a map for British Columbia as well, so we already have 5 of 13 in easily convertible format... we can make the subregions as small as anyone likes (e.g. Australia:ACT is only two grats), but I'd like to make the regions large enough so that you know which part of the world you're looking at without knowing the URL. That said, I'm not very satisfied with Germany, because it looks quite distorted (due to its average latitude of 50N)... I'll build a Europe map soon, I guess.

- 1) Very nice work. As soon as my personal regional data doesn't look as pitiful as it does now (only 3 graticules) I'll add it to my page. 2) For people having problems recognizing the country: You could write the region and subregion names somewhere on the top. 3) If you build a Europe map, will Europe be a region or will it just be the background picture? Europe-Germany-Niedersachsen would be 3 different levels, this would probably mess up your code. 4) Difficult question: What are the borders of Europe to the east? a) Leave out Russia (except for the Kaliningrad region) and Turkey. Easy to make the file but there will be complaints. OR b) Turkey up to the Bosporus, Russia up to the Ural (Geography of Europe or the picture here). Danatar 18:37, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
