WORLD MAP - UGLY

That world map is ugly. Its hard to look at. The water is the wrong color too.

It took around 2 1/2 hours to down load. It took 2 seconds to delete.

They should take it off of the maps page. Its not worth down loading.

1. Just because you have a slow connection is no reason to blame the map for being a large file.

2. If it took you 2 seconds to get rid of it, it took you 1.5 seconds too long. You need a faster computer and/or faster reflexes.

3. The popularity of the map means your opinion that it should be gotten rid of is in the distinct minority. No one forced you to download it.

I agree it's not pretty, but there are other, fan-made maps at IW that I think are even worse to look at. The main problem with the map is that when you have the zoom set normally, so that it focuses on your small chunk of the world, the map blurs and the lettering also becomes hard to read. There are not enough pixels in this map, despite its large file size.

Well then, go ahead and make a better one.

I thought the neat thing about the world map was that it started as an satellite photograph? Or was that the european one?
