I've truthfully not used cartography in quite a while. The grid I live in now has a nice set of private maps done of it and the surrounding grids so there's not been a lot of point. As cartography "minimaps" are 100x100 though, 5x5 makes sense, putting a local map at 500x500 tiles.

Lets see. something still looks off to me.

The in game/client mini-map GUI display is 125x125. (1 unit = one world cell.)
Not having cartography yet, its seemed logical to assume that cartography mini-maps revers to this same size.
However after playing with the dgladkov version and reading the additional comments. Cartography mini-maps are 100x100. (witch is the internal used size for transferring map data.)

That means that a Cartography local-map with 500x500 is:
4 Gui minimaps (125*4) or 5 Cartography mini-maps (100*5).

- So depending on what you consider a mini-map. its 4 OR 5.
- The wiki mapping image shows the correct data, as its revering to a 125x125 sized mini-map.
- There is no clear distinction between these two different sized mini-maps on the wiki. This is the real problem in my view. (The word mini-map should only target one size. the Gui mini-map in my view. + Ground images are also 125x125 tiles.)
- Moogies update only makes things worse. As its now is revering to a 100x100 size mini-map.

Don't worry, your post was completely correct as far as I can see :) .
