Confusion about maps
There are still several problems in the underlying game data. I pointed that out once but didn’t have time yet to do more investigation and write it up in a GitHub issue.
Another example might be the wrong region for several maps over here: https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/continents/1/floors/1/regions/8
Lots of them are actually in Tarnished coast. It seems like the mappers thought “oh c’mon, let’s just throw all those new instances into region 8. YOLO!”.
I mean, the continents API is cool to draw any map once you know where they’re hidden; what i miss is an endpoint which allows us to draw clean overview maps for both continents. There’s still way too much instance data in all the main floors (well, at least continent 1).

I think you can achieve that by just having the map not zoomed all the way in.
No, thats not what i mean. By a clean overview map i mean something like this: http://gw2.chillerlan.net/examples/gw2maps-jquery.html
The problem currently is that any of floors 1/1 to 1/3 feature both, world and instance data, which renders this application moot.
