Wow, that is incredibly shitty. Though I appreciate it's an advert or something similar, obviously not used for navigation.

Does that map have Florida as an island?
I wonder how they got that idea.

accurate.

That's Cuba you dummy dumb dumbz.

Florida is still shown as a peninsula.

>>596547
That is obviously Cuba.

The Matthew Paris map of Scotland c1250.

Do flat-earthers with this kind of image not understand basic geometry?

>>597249
