Some of the star systems that were on the old PNG map haven't yet made it onto the dynamic map, because we haven't got their coordinates in struct yet.

Directions for adding systems are found here: Using and Updating the Starmap on Star Army Space Roleplay

I could use a hand with this. Please let me know if you're able to help or complete this task.

I am starting from the upper left and going sector by sector. I put in Bridge of Sighs, and made a map marker for freestate
 
Are we still adding to the png map? If not I'll make a request to do so as I cannot use the new map due to accessibility issues.
 
I suppose I could update it still. What sort of issues are we talking about here, if I may ask?
 
It's hard to navigate while worldbuilding/RP planning as there are a lot of popups and things moving compared to a static map. The old png is more like looking at a map at the beginning of a fantasy book or in utilizing one in an RPG book.
 
I will look into being able to export it. I think the map plugin might be able to do that
 
I could also just update the png map myself if Wes sends me the font etc/ doesn't want to do it. The tags on the dynamic map are really bulky. Even when zoomed in most of the way they read over other parts of the map/one another and just aren't legible compared to the old map. No reason to get rid of the image map since it wasn't broken, from my perspective. My request was that it stick around.
