Could anyone take a look at my map and let me know what I'm missing? Thank you!

That's a link to Livingston's leet guide on exploration, and here's a bit from it that you specifically need. The guide is stickied btw.

All we need is a 100% map to compare to:
Canthan 100% Map
Luckily Leighwyn has provided us with this as well. You should right click on the above link and select Save Target As, and save it to somewhere on your hard drive that you can easily find.
Open guild wars and enter the game with a character that has completed Factions (Game completion is required for this title). You should then put the game into windowed mode by clicking the middle icon in the top right corner, to the left of the "x." Now press the "U" key in order to open the mini map display. Next, drag the mini-map to the top left corner of your screen, then click on the bottom right corner of the min-map and drag it down and out to expand it, fully covering your entire window with the mini-map. It should look something like this:
Windowed Mode.jpg
Now open the 100% map that you saved from above in "Window's Picture and Fax Viewer" (or whatever program you have that will allow you to zoom in on the photo). If you have Windows XP then it should do this automatically when you simply open the file.
Next, zoom in on the map until the image is roughly (or exactly if possible) the same size as your mini-map. Once they are the same size, you can begin the comparison process. Simply line up your mini-map with the same area on the 100% map, so that they are in the exact same position. They should overlap perfectly. Now when you switch back and forth between them, you should see the exact same area in the exact same place, like this:
Mini-map
100% Map
Tab back and forth between the two while staring at the borders of the area. If you are missing a spot in that area, your eye should notice the slight difference between your mini-map and the 100% map and go straight to it. Take note of the exact area you are missing and then go get it. If you do this with your entire map, you should have no problems finding the last 2% or so that you need to get your title.
Make sure to use the U mini-map and not the full map that you get when you press "M." The full map contains clouds that will obscure your vision and mess with your eyes when trying to pick out color and shape variances. It will also show the outpost emblems which can obscure areas that you need.

To OP: It is extremely difficult to compare maps in Cantha using the zoomed out method. It is great for Elona and Tyria because they have clearly defined edges, this is not so for Cantha.
To Turner: The guide is not incomplete, in fact the maps posted there have about 105% uncovered. If you had all of that uncovered you would have the title.
But you don't.
You simply aren't seeing the spots that aren't uncovered on your map.
If you were correct, that would mean that the owner of the maps (me) could not have the title, as if you have everything thats unfogged on there you would have the title, but you don't. I can assure that I do indeed have the title and have had it for a long time.
I highly doubt that you have a spot that I don't have unless you got it through an exploit or a guild town. It's possible, but I doubt it.
If it is true, please post a pic of it that we can see.
You may also notice that I offer a service for checking maps. Since you are so close to getting the title, I would be willing to check your maps and find what you need for 2k.
