I just finished my Tyrian title! 
I was always looking on the big map and really had no clue where too find any missing spots. (abou 1,2% missing) but then i used the zoomed out map comparing both (fast switching with irfan view). This is far better then using the big map!
I would use the zoomed out map to find the places and the zoomed in map to see if you have uncovered them.
I have now 100% and still know 3-5 places to uncover more!
The biggest improvements are the trick at the frost gate mission (consume corpse to teleport on ruriks path in the ice cave) and walking to the edge of the world at the eastern corner of talus chute
Here is my map of the frost gate pretty much complete i think.
cant find anything for teklis maybe post a 1280x1024 fullscreen zommed out map

This thread has been a great help, thanks to all that contributed. I've followed a lot of advice, and I'm finally at 99.1% but have no idea where to go to next. By switching back and forth, I can see a tiny patch in Mineral Springs, but that's really it. If anyone could look at the map I've linked to and give me a suggestion or two, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

here is a 1280x1024 screen of the map blown up, thnx for your help

One thing everyone keeps missing is that you can necro traversal (or consume corpse) UNDER a bridge and you will be placed on top of the bridge. I have used this 'trick' on occassion to access the charr area of Northern Wall (with no timer) and Ruricks Path in Frost Gate.
For the northern wall, lure the last boss just before the cut-scene (or one of his henchies) under the overpass (so-to-speak) and kill 'im. Then traversal or consume your way to the TOP of the overpass. Make sure you run the correct way as to NOT trigger the cutscene and timer. You won't be free and clear tho cuz there are still Charr out there. If you go all the way back to the last bridge, you will trip the part of the quest that gives you an "added: " message about finding an alternate path back and will open the gate. Helpful if you need assistance with those pesky Charr.
Frost Gate is about as simple. Remember the cave with the Dryder Spiders? Inside of it is an overpass which the good Prince uses. If you kill a spider underneath and then consume/traversal... then your on top.
Hope it helps. Have fun out there.

The path isn't a requirement to achieve the title, it only makes things a bit easier (much like the arenas). So just find what else you're missing if you find yourself not able to get down there
SacredLie
It's driving me crazy though! If I could just get it... lol... I know of a few other places I need but they're very small and probably count for .x% 
I'm up to 97.7% now I think...

Hey SacredLie, not quite sure if you plan on running about and try to find all the spots yourself or if you would be interested in a map comparison (this thread has more info).
If you would like, post your map and I'll have a look for you. If not, then my best advice is to look for uneven edges where you will need to wall creep Also note that there are a few places that you can walk up into the mountains which uncovers a bit more than just walking along the edge of the mountain

Thnx every one...the last little piece i was missing was in tombs of the prime evil kings (just found it by chance) thanx for every ones input
Mad5cout
Okay so I have looked over these maps time and time again. I have gone through the hiding mountain paths and even use the frostgate consume corpse trick. Here's my problem: I didn't do any PvP before they came out with the boat and the isles and all that. I have come to the conclusion that it is near impossible if not completely impossible to complete the map unless you did at least some PvP when the arenas were in the towns.
This is very irritating as it creates an unequitable situation for the titles and for the obvious reason that THESE AREN'T PART OF THE MAP ANYMORE! Why are they figuring in to the percentages at all? BOOO!

Hello everyone, I am a noobie to this forum. Is anyone out there still helping to analyse maps for Grandmaster Cartography? If there is a kind soul, can that person also tell me how to upload the pic of the map to the forum but it shows a link instead. thanks
p.s. I am at 94.8%

Luciora, here is my map if you (or anyone else

I know I'm missing (still) a little behind the fort in THK, a smidge in Ring of Fire, and Rurik's path. I have no idea what else I could be missing though...

Cyber, you hit the go advanced button there you can attach the pic to the post
SacredLie, my eyeball says hit northern part of dunes bonus, grenths by the entrance to sorrows, northern talus by mighty grawl, and by the north gate of ice dome. I'll check with my map today for more details and update. Also If you can take something in a larger than 800x600 it'd help tons.
Edit: well, this is the best I can do at this resolution, was wrong about sorrows (I think) and dunes though on the upside.

I'm looking for a complete map, so I can overlay my screenshots and see where I miss my final percents. Unfortunately, all maps I found so far seem to have been slightly zoomed, ruining all attemps of creating an exakt overlay.
Does anybody have a link to a 100% map which is only stitched and NOT resized in some way?

Ive got above 95% for both Tryia and Cantha and i cant seem to find anywhere im missing especially in Tryia could one of u nice people help me please im not sure how to get a full size map screenshot.
im not sure how to get a full size map screenshot.
lennymon
My reccomendation is to set your graphics to the highest setting possible(yup, even 1920x1200 if you can). Then you just open the M map, zoom it out and take a screenshot using SHIFT-Printscreen to remove all the outpost pins. Optimally you would then convert that screenshot to a jpg - again at the highest quality and post it here or in the mapping help thread in explorers, which is here for Tyria: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s....php?t=3021985
At under 98% there will be large spots, however it'll always be easier for someone else to see since they havent been starting at it trying to find the missing bits, but more importantly its just using an 100% map and a graphics program to compare them.

Hey all, I have been running around everything trying to find the last few spots to find, but its a slow go. Im at 97.8%, so here is my map (I can make it bigger or whatever if need to be) So would anyone mind helping me find the last few? Free cookies in it...
SacredLie
Alright I went and got PART of the Sanctum Cay beach, bottom of Gates of Kryta, smidge I was missing in...whatever that was by Ice Tooth Cave, smidge by Icedome... idk how to get what was circled by Henge of Denravi, I think that was the old arena there because I have part of it but I can't get there anymore. Places I know I still need...
Rurik's path in Frost Gate.
Rest of the Sanctum Cay beach.
Behind THK fort.
Bonus in Iron Mines.
Smidge in Ring of Fire.
I'm at 98.1%. Think that's enough to get me to 100%? (probably not...lol). Here's my map again at the highest resolution I can get it at...
Rurik's path in Frost Gate.

Can anyone tell me how to uncover the southern tip of the Abaddon's Mouth map? I've seen it uncovered on a map, so I know it can be done.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
-Low Ping
UPDATE - Nevermind, I figured out that this is actually part of Hell's Precipice, not Abaddon. Step where the extra red dot is to uncover the mountains here. Hope this helps someone else!

Hello, I've explored every part of Tyria that I can gain access to, including Rurik's path, northern parts of Thunderhead Keep, southern parts of the desert mission's bonus area, etcetera, save for the arenas. I'm currently stuck at 99.3%, probably in the 99.38 or .39 since I just found a small ridge I missed in Maguuma that didn't increase my overall total noticeably. I was wondering if someone could tell me how to provide a high-detail map image, as well as if they could identify any regions I'd missed from a poorer quality picture as the one I'm providing.
Edit: Oh wow that picture came out horrible. That converter must have failed, help please?

hello
I managed 99.8% and not more. I have compared my map to several 100% post arena maps and it seems that mine is fare more explored than any Ive ever seen. I guess it is a very annoying bug preventing me from reaching 100% even though I reallly did it.
I heard from some people revisiting places but I can not explore everything once more....
Could you guys please look at my map?

i'm having problems using the necrotice transversal trick on The Frost Gate mish and another not dunes i cant figure out were i need to stand do i need to stand at a distance from the corpes or on top of them?
Astro13
The necrotic traversal trick is used to move yourself to a place you can't normally reach, so you don't stand next to the corpse, it just needs to be in a place close enough for necrotic traversal, but in a normally inaccessible place (I used the bridge in the ice cave after killing a snow wolf)
Also as regards the maps, its a lot easier to find missing bits if you take the image from the minimap and piece it together from there, that way you don't get the fogging.
I have a bunch of jpgs from when I did 100% of Tyria, if you compare these with a full unfogged map, it may help. The best way is to use an art package, and show the difference between the two. The whole lot comes to 4.6 megabytes, so I can't post it here unfortunately.

Could anyone post a new link to the 1280x1024 bitmap, as the one in the ops post is dead.

Maybe this is the wrong thread to post, but i have problems finding a better thread. So my Question is: Does anyone of you have a fully explored 1280x1024 map. The one in the first post does not work anymore. Anyone have a new one for me?

Hi guys! Got my title yesterday much thanks to this tread and the maps posted here so here comes my zoomed out map. I hope it can help someone. Now Im off to Cantha..
