See Maps, Share Maps, Repeat. Part 2?!

I did say I would post these, and going through them now I see that I am sort of terrible at scaling things. Well maybe not scaling but I'm bad at getting the maps to work at least with Roll20.
Its a minor gripe.
Anyway, hopefully you can see some improvements in these maps vs the previous discussion post I made. In reality there's 2-5 months additional use of CC3+
But yea, throw that constructive criticism my way!
This one is a day version of the ground floor.
I noticed there's a bit of a graphical issue on the ground and first floor maps around the titles that isn't there in the 2nd floor map. Certainly fixable.
As per usual, throw some constructive criticism my way!

As an additional here is a day version of ground floor map.
I know most VTTs, and sites, have suggested map sizes for upload/use. Have you checked for that ?
I have looked at least on roll20 but either I'm blind or not very good at reading. It's something I want to standardise so these maps can be more useful and less just pretty to look at.
I found this link via web search on 'suggested map sizes for Roll20'. Sometimes a site's own links don't show what most people are looking for. It says 70 x 70 pixels and then talks about aligning maps you import.

70 x 70 per 5ft. grid space is what Roll20 has as default and allows as maximum from it's free users.
A paying subscriber can set it as high as they like, (but don't make your players crash from being unable to load the map)edit; @taustinoc is correct, there are file size limits, but it's 5mb on the free account and 10mb on the premium account. (sound files have the 20mb limit)
Last I checked, even on a paid account, you were still limited to 20 meg for any given file. (10 on a free account.) Has that changed?
Good point, I forgot about that
Even 10MB is enough for a fairly large map if you export it right. Use 90 or at the very least 85 'JPEG Quality' and export as one of the JPG options. I exported this map at 4000 pixels on the longest side, and it's only just over 2MB in size. CC3 is pretty good at jpg exports.
