I\'m not sure about some aspects of this note on the \'\'Discworld Mapp\'\'
** Fans who have studied the Discworld Mapp in detail and/or used it for plotting fanfic have pointed out lots of inconsistencies and scale problems. Rehigreed, noted as a province of Agatea, is as far away as you can possibly get from the Agatean mainland; Lancre is far too near Ankh-Morpork; the Central Continent appears too big and Howondaland is far too small; Genua appears to be further away from A-M than stated in the text; and so on.

Since the name \\\"C.M.O.T. Dibbler\\\" appears on the map, there is of course a Watsonian explanation.
The Rehigeed thing is just bizarre, agreed.
Lancre is about 500 miles away from Ankh which is exactly what it says in the text of \\\'\\\'Discworld/EqualRites\\\'\\\'.
I\\\'m not aware of any statement in the books to the size of Howondaland and the Main Continent, although it strikes me as a bit weird to complain Lancre is too close to A-M \\\'\\\'and\\\'\\\' that a continent that mostly consists of the distance between them should be \\\'\\\'smaller\\\'\\\'.
The evidence that Genua should be closer to Ankh than shown on the map, oddly, seems to come from \\\'\\\'after\\\'\\\' the map was published (\\\'\\\'Discworld/GoingPostal\\\'\\\', where it\\\'s two weeks away by mail coach). Again, that\\\'s bizarre, but this time it\\\'s not the Mapp\\\'s fault.

Indeed.

Indeed, LC speaks truth. Hard to pin down what a thousand different editors are doing. Instead of complaining, open a forum thread.
