Hi SWM,

Thank you.

Bless you for all your considerable trouble, it impressive.

Par for the course, I couldn't download or copy it. :(

There's other maps out there that include the known wormholes from 3-4 years back, I don't remember where unfortunately, and we have a t least one more from SoV to add now.

An updated map that included the wormhole bridges would be great in the dead tree version besides posted here.

Thanks again.

I am in the process now of revising my list of distances between stars from the text. When my new list is complete, I will compare the text distances to the measured distances on the composite map. A preliminary check of a dozen distances shows the composite map matches the text within 2%-5%. I will see how well that holds for all known distances.

If the distances match well, this leads to the possibility of identifying candidates for other stars named in the text that don't show up on the published maps. This may or may not work, but we do know that David based all his early time and distance calculations on measurements from his paper map. I have already identified a couple candidates for Visigoth and Nolan, based on distances in the text. I'll keep people posted!
Any snippet or post from RFC is good if not great!
