Probably too early to point this out, and I don't know if these are intentional, but some locations in Doggerland seem to be named Doggar and Sweden is spelled Sweeden.

I can change that, i have extreamly bad spelling

doggerland seems to be spelt dogger but pronounced doggar so that can be confusing

But, what is he going to name them after?

I like the new version, but I'm not sure I like it better than the former.

tips:
1. the colors need changing they are too bright (red) or too dark (dark blue) try doing a softer looking color
2. the texture aplied to the map needs changing
3. make room for the legend and title, and your name eventually
4. the drawn see routes are too big, try a softer pencil

thats all for now :wink:

Kattegat is the name of that part of the sea - not the island.

"Orust" is the name of the large island northeast of Denmark.
Oldest archeological finds are 10-11.000 yrs old.
