bobert,
For a rough estimate:
The top of Lornar's as seen on my map counts for about 1% (I started at 99%).
I think the area's you mention counts for between 8 and 11%.
That's a rough estimate, not calculated.
Killaya,
D'Alessio Seaboard, explore the area between this location and Bergen (leave from mission and move up).
Also, in the mission, the far west wall.
Gates of Kryta: Explore the upper part west of the entrance (you reach it by going north after killing the first boss).
East side of the top of Thunderhead Keep.
Lower part of Nolani (leave the final boss and explore that area).
East wall in Iron Mines of Moladune.
The area above Ice Caves of Sorrow (leave mission outpost, keep going east, hug the wall and there is an 'entrance' to this area (about .1)).
Small area in Port Sledge, west side. Also a small bit right above the outpost.
East coast of Sanctum Cay (walk past Vizier at the end, make sure you hit the wall so you don't trigger him).
Small bit in Ice Floe, top area near the river.
Dunes of Despair bonus area (use necrotic traversal trick to explore)
The small spot you mention is probably in Hell's.
You get into the water near the 'river' and with right position you should be able to uncover that small piece.
Compare done visual, your 1024 against my 1024, open in 2 windows and switch between them.
GL with the last .8%.
DoH,
I'd say visual compare your map against mine (my max resolution is 1280x1024 so you have to adjust resolution for your screenshot).
The old arena's are no problem. As you can see on my map, there is a large piece of Lornar's not uncovered and it's a 100% one.
It does not have any of the old arena's.
I'm working on a full > 100% one, with this area also uncovered, but that's not a real priority right now.

That is to say I intend to uncover every spot possible to a current level 20 character on the map.... irrespective of how far over 100% it goes. Afterall, there is a certain degree of leeway in getting the 100... and since not everyone therefore will have exactly the same corners uncovered, it may be best to get all of them just so they can be sure which bits are possible.

I'm pretty much stuck too, I've mapped the places left to explore and it seems I might at best squeeze out another 1.5-2% I'm at 96.2% atm and I'm starting give up on this thing, I don't really know where you people see any leeway but imo there should way more of it. Any help appreciated, if it's impossible feel free to point it out so that I can move on to other things.

I'm at 99.8% and I can't seem to find the last 0.2%. I am missing denravi/glad/drok/amnoon arenas though...
I've tried diffs and even uncovered areas which most 100% maps don't have.
I am posting high res 1680x1050 shots map with thumbnails, hopefully someone can spot the missing areas.

the_jos
Imkey,
The most obvious place I could find was the one right above Ice Caves of Sorrow.
That area is suppost to be clean and your's has a slight blue fog on it.
The east side of The Frost Gate seems not done right, but I'm not really used to look at those high resolution maps.
The same could be true for the area in Gates of Kryta, on the north-west side of the first boss.
I have a question for you.
May I use your high-res images for a tutorial I'm working on?
I've seen lots of maps where the same locations are missing (like the area above Ice Caves of Sorrow) and want to point those out to cartographers.
Using them will mean full maps and parts of them.
I'll credit you for the images.
If I may use them, could you post a 1280x1024?
That so I can determine the differences with your map and mine?
Thanks,
Jos

All 100% maps posted in this thread have either been removed, or are rescaled or composite images which can't be used for comparison - and there is no 100% tyria map in Guildwiki.

got the 100%!
thanks for all the spots jos
I just couldn't get anymore from the pier spot. Every other spot was helpful in revealing a little more.
I actually got the 100% after the first 4 spots u mentioned, but I did the rest anyway for thoroughness. Will post full map later.
edit: actually, I didn't do the ice cave one either yet.

Can you post your map in Full Screen mode and without the outposts (shift+Printscreen)?

Hi, I posted in here a few months ago asking for a map check. I had 96% then and I've gotten up to 96.5%, but I don't remember where I actually went. If someone could check my map again so I can get an idea where to go (I don't wanna go somewhere I've already been, that just wastes time IMO), I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Dunes bonus area.
Area right above Ice caves of sorrow
Area in Gates of Kryta northwest of the first boss
Is it possible to provide a somewhat larger picture (like 1024x768 or 1280x1024)?
It's hard to do a visual compare on such a small picture.
Wobrak, who did the compares, quit (post #3264) and I know how to do the difference compare with circles, but it's a lot more time consuming for me compared to a visual look at the right resolution.
If you can't submit in 1024 or 1280, please take a look at post #3288, imkey made full resolution shots of the whole map.
With my tips, he got 100%, so those two together should help you out.

I don't get it, I've just compared my map with someone else's and they have over 2% more than me even though I have several bits explored that they don't. Is it just me or does this game hate me? 
the_jos
It depends very much on the areas that you have explored.
My rangers map differs a lot from my mesmers map.
But my mesmer (my second GMC) cleared a lot more on the edges, because I wanted to know how much you could leave unexplored.
On first sight, my ranger map and mesmers map don't differ that much, but when you look better, you see all kinds of tiny bits here and there on my ranger's.
And almost none except a huge part on my mesmers.
Specially Witman's Folly and Kryta have a few pieces on them that are almost invisible. Some parts of the jungle are hard to see.
The desert is also hard to compare, except on the edges.
Check my 100% map (#3269 and #3271) for compare.
Don't look at Lornar's, I still have to clear that one.

East side Diessa Lowlands, just below entrance to Foothills.
Keneth,
Yes, that's a 100% map.
But, it only misses a very small amount of other spots (I have identified 4 or 5 so far).
Meaning somewhere on your map the same amount of ground is still covered in fog. That's not 'a few puny scraps on the edges'.
When I started Lornar's, I was at 99% and could not find other spots at that moment. Or did not know how to reach them. Meaning there is about 2x the entire Lornar's Pass hidden on your map

Thanks, Jos, your map had the missing corners in southern shiverpeaks!
But, seriously, and no offense, but without the old arenas the map you posted wouldn't be anywhere near 100%. I had everything you had uncovered and then some, e.g. the area northeast of Henge and the southwest of the fire islands, and still just barely got to 100%.
It seems to me as if the arenas were the "leeway" in reaching 100%, because there's definitely less than 1% leeway left now.
