Talk:1771 Great Yaeyama Tsunami

Better map needed
The Japanese language article does not have a map showing the epicenter, but if this article is to have one it really needs a better one.

The previous map based on the Japan location map (below). This is undesirable because (a) at the time of the tsunami the affected area was not part of Japan and (b) the Japan map shows the Ryukyu islands as a small insert and doesn't give any indication of their actual geographic location.

I have changed the map to the following for now based on the China map. I believe this map is preferable because it shows the context and location of the affected islands. It is not ideal, however, as it is a bit too distant.

Boulder location map
I tried few times to load a map that I did for the location of three boulders On the Ishigaki East Coast, but never managed to do it successfully. It will be nice to have it on this page.
