Okay, I'll see what I can do! I'm going to start with this project now then!
I'll keep you informed! You have requested the OpenStreetMap kind of BG,
so that's what you gonna get!

EDIT: I think we should take this area in a first step and make another BG
if and when you will get to the eastern most islands! The original image
that was fetched from OpenStreetMap has a resolution of 20150x20150.
What you see here is just screenshot of that full image.


Some interesting info about the original image.

That's beautiful! Yeah I like it a lot! That'll for sure make it more convenient for me to plot the cities/towns on the islands where they should go

Okay then, it'll take some time to register the ME BG, a very tedious process,
flipping in and out of Editor and game multiple times, mostly around 50 - 60.
But I'll get there! Stay tuned!

BTW, are you mapping with C2C loaded into the Editor too,
to be able to use resources from it? If so, do you start the
Editor with -edit usa? Or are you only mapping with your
own map loaded and if so, what name are you using when
editing the map as argument to -edit?

[b738pilot]

Great, thanks!! Really appreciate it.

I start the editor with C2C in the folder as I created a ferry connection between Lauderdale and Nassau as well as built up a ferry port in that same sector. That is the only sector being carried over from C2C. Miami and Boca are not included. Map has been tested thoroughly to ensure a smooth transition and road connection.

I open the editor with -edit caribmap so I only work on my sectors and that one from Lauderdale.

Also, I am not using any resources from mantrid or C2C map as I'm avoiding being a dependency. Technically someone without C2C could download the map and I can make a non C2C version removing the Lauderdale sector, but it really wouldn't be enjoyable as you wouldn't be able to join the west coast and a ferry from San Diego to Nassau is just ... no. :) So either way, someone who is interested in this map should have C2C.

@b738pilot

Exactly as I did it when I made my SwedishIslands map, but I "borrowed" only 1 sector from SCS Vanilla,
the one I needed to build the bridge over to one of the islands. Okay, then I think I have what I need.
I will refer to the map as caribmap so it will work out of the box for you.

EDIT: The ME BG is now finished! Check PM!
