OK, once again sorry for having posted feedback on an out-of-date version.
I tried some more on your New and Improved Version, and it really is MUCH BETTER.
"However..."
I think I can put my finger on why it is still not my map of choice, under one caveat: You should not take this personally, and I believe very strongly that the two reasons I will give are purely a matter of completely subjective, highly contingent taste, and have no bearing whatsoever on your skills as an excellent map maker. In fact, I think most people will disagree with me, which is of course just fine. So this is just my humble opinion:
1. It is too big. I think I really don't come clear with anything over half its size.
2. It is too "busy". By this I mean there is too much "shiny stuff" which, because it looks like information but is not, detracts from my (admittedly: instrumental-functional) finding what I want in an unambiguous manner. Examples of these are the many lines (streets, I think? or other forms of borders?), points (representing, I think, cities), and words. I really like the "pretty bits" (things that look like mountains, or little islands, or rivers), however.
Well, I hope you will accept this honest bit of feedback for what it is, and thanks very much for all your efforts!
