Shame i can't pull you up for not having picked these up long ago...and why they're not all given at once rather than in dribs and drabs.
for you eh?!
Many of these as you know are taken from another reference map.
So there is always going to be discrepancy on what you want and what mapmakers put on their maps when referred to from other people's work.
sevemoe tushino ought to be severnoe tushino.
This one is a reading error from the other map - the close font letters are repsonsible.
Fixed.
tverskoe is tverskoy,
Changed.
segovoy is almost certainly begovoy,
Fixed.
while presnensoe is probably presnenskiy.
yes if you look at google...but who says google is correct
changed
the text for mostilmovskiy isn't lined up properly on the small map, so that the second mo is slightly higher than the v that follows it.
fixed.
i suspect that meshchanskoye is actually meshchanskoe if u use the same transliteration method as for the other names that have the -skoe ending.
No, Meschanskiye is correct...according to google
you forgot to look at Basmannoe...should be Basmannyy according to google
and Krasnoselskoe should be Krasnosel'skaya according to google.
and Bogorodskoe should be Bogorodskoye according to google.
and Taganskoe should be Taganskiy according to google.
and Sokolniki should be Sokol'niki
Quick. let's all go over to google maps to make sure out maps are all correct from now on

ian.
I don't think it is untidy. and since most often that is the way abbreviations are noted...i think they're OK.
otherwise do you have an alternative suggestion ?
the numerous abbreviation dots remain a minor irritant, though i can live with them. the only suggestion i have is to remove the dots, in the fashion of Qld for queensland, NSW for new south wales and UK for united kingdom.
ian, let's not keep going round in circles with the dots. I want them there, you can live with that, so let's get over your minor irritation.
as for your references for qld nsw etc. they can also be used with dots....e.g n.s.w. and u.k.
I think you're being pendantic for pendantic sake.
the sparkle effect on the diamonds is a nice touch.
ian.
ah! wonderful you find some positive.
