I'm having a really hard time wrapping my mind around the map if i just look at the latest version.
For me at least the size of 709px × 744px, as in version 17, feels like an absolute minimum. I guess this is dependant on the size of your screen and resolution - but if you don't need the map to be that size, you can probably use the small map just as well, right?
I also find the minimap to be somewhat indistinct and unclear. Not as big of a problem, but still.
Got to go along with Grand, The large version should be larger in contrast to the small. Otherwise, why bother even making two versions. You can go as high as 840 X 800, so why not take advantage of this, and give us the largest allowed ?
Also I was noticing what was said about the inset. Yes this observation is dead on. It got me to thinking that on this map, this inset is redundant. It has no information that is not already on the map. The color coded numbers do the job pretty well to distinguish the kingdoms. I say loose it altogether.
OK, so I farted around with the settings one more time. I stated before that the map seemed "dark". I think that maybe it was not too dark, but had a foggy haze that made it seem too dark. Here is a version that is still as dark, but with more contrasting tones that eliminates the muddiness that it has, and makes it more crisp and easier to read.
