I'm only going to do the land areas of Jamaa, because in my opinion the underwater areas have almost no problem spots.
Sure, the World Map is handy. It gets you to places you need to go without manually walking to them. But the thing about it that really, really, REALLY nags me is that it's innacurate.
Let's start with Jamaa Township's problems - and there are a lot.
First off, where the heck is Jammer Central?! I can give AJHQ credit, as below is a picture of the old Jammer Central, but are they too lazy to update it or WHAT?
We've got the swirl there in the middle of the bustling heart of Jamaa, we have the Diamond Shop, but do we have today's current Jammer Central? NO. We just have a weird gong-looking thing above the swirl.
Secondly, where's Mira? The little worshipping place dedicated to her is there, but if they can make a tiny graphic of the outdated Jammer Central, then they can draw a tiny Mira. Come on.
And last, what really bothers me is that they don't have the Pillow Room on the Jamaa Township section of the Map. As far as I know, it's been here quite a while, so why hasn't AJHQ taken the time to plop 'er on the Map?
And why the tussocks of grass near the top of the map? They aren't used and most Jammers don't even notice them. And what about the little houses up near the Mira statue?
Let's move onto Appondale.
Appondale has no major problems, thankfully, but I want AJHQ to add the ridge behind Claws 'N Paws, and maybe a little bit of scenery, as well as the mysterious cave-ish entrance........
Mt. Shiveer!
Mt. Shiveer also has almost no problems, but what bothers me is the cave near the top. In the real Mt. Shiveer, it's just a cragged rock face, not an open cave like they're showing.
Let's head to Sarepia Forest!
This portion of the skewed World Map has, in my opinion, the second-most problems. First of all, there's no stone slide, which bugs me. There's also no Flag Shop - WHAT THE HECK??? - and there's no Treetop Gardens. Plus, the mushrooms aren't located in the right spot, and the firepit isn't shown, never mind the Topiary Shop.
Trekking over to the Lost Temple of Zios!
The Chamber of Knowledge, Brady Barr's Lab, and the other building are in the right places, but I wish they had the pit with the Zios relic. AJHQ could take some time to add the entrance to the Adventure Base Camp, too. This section of the Map is meh - it only needs a little bit of retouching, but still.
Now onto the dusty desert-ish landscape of Kimbara Outback!
I've gotta hand it to AJHQ - this small little bit of the Map is about as good as they come. But the little path leading upward to the top of the map - it leads up to The Great NATURE Project board and the little wooden bridge, which isn't shown - it's minor, but I would like AJHQ to fix it.
The beaches of Crystal Sands await, my fellow Jammers!
Crystal Sands is decent as well, but I wish AJHQ had expanded it more to show the bit of water that cuts into Crystal Sands, and not made it border on Bahari Bay. Instead, they could have added the little half-bridge that leads into Bahari Bay. The could have also inserted the little island/rocky stick-y up-y part that juts into the water, as well as the flamingo that's with it. ^.^ They could have also added the Pet Wash, and the little slide next to it. The waterfall that's shown in front of the entrance to Mt. Shiveer isn't correct - instead, there's two little waterfalls on either side.
Now onto Coral Canyons - one of the little World Map niblets that irritates me the most.
First off, the section shows a river cutting through all of Coral Canyons - when the only bodies of water are the little waterfall that starts off at Swoopy Eagle to flow over the entrance to Epic Wonders, and the little pool of water near the center of Coral Canyons that connects to the waterfall. Secondly, according to the AWFUL map, all the shops PLUS the bridge are in a little clump, whilst the rest of Coral Canyons is flat. This really, really, REALLY bugs me! And they don't even show the bridge - and when you click on the Shops button on the side of the map, Den Depot, Epic Wonders, and the spot where you buy frogs are all in that barren wasteland in the Coral Canyons part of the map.......
And the bridge isn't even IN the clump of stuff, and Epic Wonders and Peck's Art Studio aren't even visible!
Step it up, AJHQ. Show me some real work.
