Mapping software suggestions
I’m looking to make a map of Scotland’s 905 castles in super high resolution. I need the map to be downloadable and ideally the software should have the ability to upload CSV files of map coordinates.
Once I’ve downloaded the map I want to use it as a layer in photoshop to put a better looking map on top of so I can manually place the points on top to make something that looks good. With that in mind, it’s essential that I’d be able to take a shot of the full map of Scotland and the points don’t overlap, but when I zoom in everything remains in good resolution.
Google mymaps is almost the perfect software but I can’t get the points small enough to not overlap, even when uploading a super small custom map marker. Felt is slightly better because I can at-least use absolute zoom values and download shots of different parts of the map and stitch them together. It’s just quite a laborious process. I’m hoping there’s some software that can get that sort of fidelity without me having to do that. Any suggestions free or paid would be much appreciated.

Request for guess the year maps
Hello, map people,
I run a trivia contest and would love to have a map displayed where the contestants have to deduce the year it was published. It's fine if its not the exact one year, but a small range. Maybe you guys can link me some places where those can be found, with the explaination why that range. Thank you very much in advance.

Question: What is this map showing? I used to think perhaps it assigns the Amazon to Tierra Firme, but Paraguay is also the same color as Brazil? I am studying Venezuelan history and it would be useful to know what the colors on this map truly show. Thanks.

I’m unsure if this is the right place for this, but how would I type these coordinates out?
I was gifted a book on minerals by a family friend when I was very young with a note written inside, going something like “When I was your age, my father gave me a book like this one, with a note like this one. I hope it spurs you to lead an adventurous life like it did for me.” The book had this slip of paper slipped into one of the last pages. I only just sat down to read it recently and found it, but I think I’m writing them wrong, as google not google maps are showing me anything. This is how I’ve been writing them. 43.593219 North, 115.460408 West

"The Man of Commerce" - 1889 American map equating human anatomy with the American transport system. The map's metaphor makes West Superior "the center of cardiac or heart circulation." The railways become major arteries. New York is "the umbilicus through which this man of commerce was developed."
