General impression ~ Description sounds brilliant, tx Thilo.

Should make things easier to use for me to use (I think/hope).

Some initial queries:-

1]. Almost all of the planet is currently shown ‘under water’ in the VIEW screen. There are just a few white ‘islands’ showing… Is this something that we - users - have to ‘fix’ ourselves, and if so, how do we do this?

2]. My offshore islands: Their outlines have all disappeared, leaving just their inter-state boundaries sitting in the ocean. How to ‘fix’, please?

3]. Text display size: My vision is imperfect and I find that the names for things on the map are a little too small for me to be able to see clearly. How can they be magnified say, 20-25%?

4]. I NEED to be able to see the settlement nodes/names at most map-representation magnifications, but the ‘smaller settlements’ all disappear as I zoom-out. How may I prevent this, as this is a very important factor for me? (Without having to mark them all up as ‘cities’!)

5]. I am SERIOUSLY struggling to think of a way to join my settlements with highways, etc. ~ because at the ‘Editing Magnifications’ I cannot tell where &/or in what exact direction the ‘next settlements lie. Is there a ‘trick’ to this, or some method of (say) just joining the settlement nodes with straight lines (that may later be individually edited)?

6]. I need to show physical geographic features like hills, mountains, moors, valleys, vales, etc. Please can you advise where I might find facilities to suit (this, I appreciate is simply a matter of my severe inexperience!).

7]. I’m entirely unsure about ‘LAYERS’ and their purposes/uses & best practice ~ please could you advise?
