Sure, run with it. Make original maps with this. All I ask is that you come back here and point me at your work so I can marvel at what has been unleashed.

Go for it! I'm working on the 1492 Erdapfel globe next, but I'd love to see countries edited in according to the place names that Oronce put in his original map.

You don't have access to a high-definition source map do you?

The best version of the original map is here: www.loc.gov/item/2005630228/

I love your way of representing rivers.
However that Scandinavia is going to give me a stroke if I look at it too long.

If it helps, only the southern third of the overall peninsula is actually OTL Scandinavia. Check out the original source (www.loc.gov/item/2005630228/ ), and note where "Lapia" (Lappland) is.
