What's your favourite overland style?
@Calibre, I am 100% in agreement with you about Herwin Weilink. If only the Jon Roberts had many more symbols and fills, it would be my favourite, but in the meantime, it is Mike Schley, though it needs many more fills (and better ones).
With Spectrum coming close second - again, it needs heaps more symbols though the fills are tremendous. I am super excited thet the author of that style is now going to do the main style of CC4.

WIP: Bleakmoor Harrow - Continent of Estonisch
I do like the font for this style. And this is purely a matter of personal aesthetics - but I think your large font size is too large - again, my personal taste, so don't act on it unless you feel you would like to. Perhaps the Jungle name is about right size, given the extent of the Jungle, but I feel Mount Kroom is overly prominent - but perhaps that is what you desire. Again, these are MY aesthetics, which nearly certainly won't be yours, but I offer it for you to consider.
And I find the issue of text size perhaps the most difficult to resolve - always someone wanting it bigger, so they can read it on what is a small version of the map, and people like me who don't like any one text dominating others, and who are quite happy to have smaller sizes, which becoe clear when a larger version of the map is viewed (unfortunately not on the forum pages, but available in the gallery now, thanks to Remy Monsen's recent modifications).

OK, then if that is the case, nothing needs changing - though perhaps the open areas need explaining. Google maps shows the true density of the Amazon, and the open spaces are either economic activities or settlements or tribal lands (though the latter are also quite densely covered with forest).
This is just one aerial view of the Amazon - so if anything, your jungle is less dense!!! LOL
