Hello all. Thanks to the tips about using difference maps, I have reached 99.8% exploration in Tyria... Any assistance would be greatly appreciated for the last .02%. Here is my current map:

Here's a comparison for ya.
WoYA, the proper file extension is bmp not bpm for Bitmaps.

Uzul
Thanks for comparing maps. Don't take offense that I compared Anon's map. Just wanted to give a another option. FYI, the area north of Denravi is one of the old PvP arenas. Some have and most don't.

CoranDNevar
Come come now, you are a Master Cartographer and you ask a question as though you are an Explorer.
Have you tried from both sides?

*EDIT*
Well now you have two comparisons. DeMiGod and myself posted at the same time. lol

Ok, Update time.. the 'nudge' on the left of Divinity cleared up when I went under the drawn up bridge @ the end of the mission... 0.0% gained.

Couldn't seem to get to that bit @ Henge of Denravi, either from inside the outpost, or outside. The little bit @ the start of Bloodstone Fen did yield 0.1%.

Unfortunately, clearing Dunes didn't yield anything..

Upon rechecking the difference maps, I noticed a very small bit in Frost Gate, a very small bit in Spearhead Peak NE corner. And another very small bit in Frozen Forest. This brought me to 99.7%. Taking a leap of faith.. I henched Hells Precipice. The NE Beach put me to 99.8%. the SW beach area popped. North portal pushed it to 99.9%, and swinging around to the cutscene teleport area... Pushed it to 100.0%.. Yes peeps, I'm now a member of the Tyrian Grand Master Cartographer Club...

Thanks to Uzul for the couple of places that I missed. I also just noticed Wobrak did a map for me.. I'll look into the spots highlighted, but they ain't really needed now, Thanks anyway

@Anon: /congrats When I went for my last % I had several corners which would make "bing" on my map, but didn't add the 0.1 - over time they add up though. >_<

@Wobrak: Me taking offense? Don't even think about it... I'm way too laid back for that... And your map was a good comparison for myself, seeing that I still have to make difference maps for a couple friends from town. ^^

@Milennin: there you go... fresh from the map-drawing-slave's hand. More details are visible if you can provide your map in 1280x1024 or 1600x1200.
Hell's didn't look suspicious, however - the southern beach leads quite far north back on the eastern shore, maybe double check there after you "harvested" the other circles. ^^

How can you explore the area in between Piken Square and The Great Northern Wall?

When you are running back (Northern Wall mission) take the path to the right before the final bridge. You will run into a group a Charr there also. That should clear it up for ya.

Could someone tell me where I can find a good map of Tyria without all the outposts and names showing? I'd like to get Grandmaster, but haven't been able to find a good map for checking all the missing spots.
I'm sure there's a map linked somewhere in this thread, but it's going to take ages to find it among the hundreds of posts. I also tried searching the forums but came up with nothing.

Milennin, I think I found what I was looking for from the link Wobrak gave me, but thanks for your offer! And good luck finding the last 0.2%.

Wobrak, thank you for the link. That looks like a very useful site for exploration maps and other things, I'm surprised I've missed it completely.

Dangit.XD I'm stuck on 99.9% and have basically checked every point you showed on that map. Some of them I already done, but it was probably a little unclear because of clouds hanging over area's.
I've just tried to look for the last missing part but couldn't find it, hope you can.T___T
Here's the updated map 99.9% in JPG, I tried getting it in the resolution you recommended but when I tried to set it like that the screen stayed black for a couple of seconds and then changed back to normal.=\
But I can PM you a higher quality PNG file if you need it.>__<

EDIT Ow never mind, just hit the 100%.XD Thanks for your help dude.=P

Take this path to reveal the rest there (there will always be a small cloud of fog left though).

Yo Simon, you're missing some pretty big parts. Especially in the Falls.
I think these are most of the parts you're missing:

Still seems to be missing a few small bits in the Southern parts of the Falls. Not completely sure about the Northern part but check it out if you have a bad feeling about it.XD
Next time press ALT+H before taking a screenshot so the towns don't appear on the map.=P
Some of the red marks I'm not sure about, you better check them after you have cleared the bigger parts. The big parts are in Lornar's Pass and Dunes of Despair the corner.
For some reason most of Kryta was very unclear but I think you have cleared most/all of there anyway.=P

Is there any way to get in here?

See where that yellow dot is? I can't get to it. I know it would only give a trivial amount of map uncovering and I could skip it, but it drives me nuts knowing it's there. There's a couple big logs blocking the tar river (blue dots) and a gate blocking the path (red dots) but there's a boss (yellow dot) sitting back there every time I go into the mission... so it seems like you should be able to get in the area where the boss is but I can't. I even put Koss at the gate marked by the red dots while I talk to the lady for the bonus, since the ember bearers for the bonus mission appear right there; I thought maybe they open the gate and come out of it but they just magically appear, so the gate remained closed and that didn't help. I hoped the boss behind the gate would come close enough for me to kill him with some spells and then use Necrotic Transversal, but he would not come near. Any ideas? Or has anyone else managed to get back there?

Nope, you can't get in there. I checked the 100% map.

WoYa can you post a pic with higher resolution please. Either 1024x768 or my preference is 1280 x 1024.
Cheers.
There is definitely no way into that area of surmia.
