Actually, how are the "permanent" areas on the map decided?

They were once imported from the LK8000 project and filtered for duplicates and overlapping areas. If you feel that some are missing then please tell us you suggestions with name and coordinates.

They should be rather generic and not bound to certain competitions. For example there is just a single map for Germany, one for the Alps, one for France, ... I don't know how well that maps to the US, but I could imagine grouping certain states together into useful maps.
