 – Wereldburger758 (talk)

Request: I'd like to be able to make a few maps showing the Norse dominion in the 13th century. The dominion included lands in Scandinavia, the British Isles, Iceland, the Faeroe Islands, and Greenland. Map1 (pictured) is perfect, except that it doesn't show Greenland. Can someone come up with an SVG map similar to that which includes Greenland? I don't want borders or anything on the map, just something that I and others can use as a template, to mark different locations and divisions during different eras in history. I messaged the creator of the pictured map, but he's busy with school. I'm hoping that someone here can help.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 10:41, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Wereldburger758, that should work.--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 21:25, 27 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Answer: What you can use is the map that I have posted here. It is a blank world map without borders. A SVG-map. And you can set a viewport so that only that part of the picture is visible that you want to. If you don't know how to set a viewport, get back to me when you are done.
