Oppose – too much, and too little at the same time. Viewing the whole, all those names are distracting, while in a close-up look, there's not enough info, and the font is too large. --Janke | Talk 21:07, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- It sounds like you want a dynamically-generated scaling map like Google Maps or OpenStreetMap. Unfortunately, static maps cannot change their information density or font size based on the zoom level, so I'm not really sure how your feedback would be actionable.

Comment – Meh. – Sca (talk) 21:50, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment – I am leaning to support. I don't see big improvements and I think any change will be good and bad depending on who's looking at it. Also, SVGs, fonts, browsers, and operating systems don't always behave well, this coming from CIA probably displays well on most computer platforms. Bammesk (talk) 01:21, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Support – Any map can be better and different depending on what we want from it. I think this does a good job in the 3 articles listed above. Bammesk (talk) 02:17, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Great at full size, but doesn't thumbnail particularly well. Consider nominating on Commons. MER-C 17:27, 9 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
