Thanks for the response and suggestions, Peter. I honestly think they'll end up doing wonders. I'm really glad you liked the world map, and yes I did use G.Projector to switch, I think the inset is either Hammer or one of the Natural Earth ones? I really should have written that down..... I'm not 100% satisfied with how the erosion on the inset worked out so I'll make some changes later on. Climate zones are the next step after getting the map all situated, so I'll be figuring how how to do the overlay at some point soon.
