Then just use one? No, that would be too simple, of course...

Seconded. Apparently, the distinction (or rather, to make it) is too important to pass.

What program do you use (Gimp...?)? I can't open either those files.
Edge detect? Please tell me more.

Edge detect is a feature in some more advanced photo editing programs. It detects the edges of the features in the picture and makes them bold while whiting out the rest of it.

Agreed. Though the map file would probably break the world for some 56k users, a NES played on a world map of that size would be very interesting...
Does gimp have it? BTW, I, also, could not open either of the files with gimp.

I estimate as a .gif it wouldn't break 500kb on a full-size world map, and would probably be under that. I also have a blatant disregard for anyone still residing in the stone age.
It does say underneath the image, you know.
It's also known as "Find Edges" in some programs, but the results are not necessarily always very "clean" and often require touch up. If you pair it with an extreme brightness/contrast switch it can usually bold out the lines and destroy the clutter though.

Awesome map! The combination of colors and terrain/altitude markers is really nice, and useful, IMO.
Very Beautiful map. I guess I need to do a Japan NES next.

Seconded, strongly.

It actually occurs to me that a NES could support up to six terrain types and have 39 countries (assuming each covered each terrain type), while still maintaining a glow-coast and auxiliary indicator colors of black, white, and gray (which eat up 22 colors or so; 19 for the sea, one for one of each). 38 if blank territory were left around in standard terrain colors.
Functionally, since most would have far less than all six, the total number would be somewhere around 70+, possibly.
It's difficult to get it to work for terrain though. I tried it with a LINESII map, and even after muting most of the terrain colors it's very difficult to get countries to stand out unless they use fairly bright colors (or if they're surrounded by mostly bright colors). It'd take some fine-tuning to work. It does work for elevations though, at least.

Then, if Mesoy's map is a no-show, could someone else have a go at my request?
