Noticed some of the labels were missing so I took the liberty of adding them:

Edit to provide context: originally the image uploaded by op had a random label of North Asia on North America.

Jee, don't know where that label came out 😭

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Being annoyed at β€œNorth Asia” covering a lot of important information and then seeing your map was so fucking funny.

That's much better, but there seems to be some landmass southeast of greater Austria. That was proven to be a phantom island in the 1800's once navigation improved. Please correct.

Is that a so different community?

Well, the label is wrong if I haven't completely missed some major geopolitical event recently.

!cartographyanarchy@lemm.ee is for such maps where you want to bend the reality a bit.

Fixed. And thanks for the comments, I was truly lol today :D

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Muuuch better, thank you :)

I like the map, where did you gather the data from? I see that the tool you used lets you create a spreadsheet to display the data so that's cool!

The LLM Qwen?

If so, I have to say I don't trust AI generated data. I've tried on and off since 2022 with different models to see how it does with questions and data specific to my field of expertise and it just makes up stuff and is often wrong, and can't produce evidence / references that hold any ground.

I'm just saying this to hopefully courage you to search for reliable and better sources for your data. I hope to see more maps from you then! :)

Qwen "search" option performs a data scraping on the web providing links, it's pretty reliable

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Interesting. Thanks for the info!

[–] Suoko@feddit.it 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wanted to do that for ev motorbikes, and ebikes of any kind and form factor like those mentioned here https://en.spezialradmesse.de/markenverzeichnis

This is also super interesting. Do you mind adding all this info we have had in this comment section into your post body? Or maybe with the next post you make. This kinda info makes for really interesting discussion!
