Tried comparing your maps as you have them now, but that's about hopeless, as i can't align them.
Oh, just a note to those who offer rewards and like : i don't need them, just help others ingame, and make it a better place... You can help mapchecking as well if you like :P Lol, my PC can run the game fine, I just was confused about fog and clouds...and how you could possibly check the maps if they were present? Sounds hard.
Here you are:

As shown 98.7.
Map is 1600x1200, highest resolution possible. However I'm pondering how you'll be able to check this with all of the fog/cloud cover.
Thanks in advance! And I would love helping to map-check, if my eyesight wasn't as poor as it is.
I look foward to your response, whenever it may be Freeze, and thanks!

Finally got Canthan GMC! =D
Thanks for all the help Freeze_XJ, I really appreciate it.
Time to bother the people in Elonian Explorer's League...

Congrats to Chris_nin00, and welcome to our still elusive club of exploratio deliberatus It's a disease i fear, but a pretty harmless one.
@Silly : sure as hell i can see something in those minimaps, though you gave me a hard time with 800x600 :P (i suspect you uploaded something weird), so i just decided to mark everything suspicious. Most will be nothing, and i will have missed something, so if you can still get me a bigger map (with as much quality as you can manage, jpg kills a lot of data, so set quality as high as you can without breaking limits)
I think it's time for a quick tutorial again, so people don't have to wait till i have time to check something... Keeping you updated

Mini Tutorial Mapchecking Full Scale Maps
Ingredients :
- The Gimp (freeware) http://www.gimp.org/windows/
- A map of the continent you want, in the resolution you want
(Cantha 1024x768,1280x1024, 1600x1200)
(Tyria 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1600x1200)
(Elona don't have Nightfall... please get me maps)
- Some time to get the trick
Preparation :
Install the Gimp, follow the standard procedure, and try whether it works.
Fire up Guildwars, go to your continent of choice, and perhaps set your current quest to something on another continent (that star is annoying i think, and can hide a missed spot)
{Set your resolution as high as your monitor and/or computer supports}
Press Ctrl-Shift-H, to make all tabs and windows in your screen disappear. (another hit of the keys makes them reappear)
Press 'm', and zoom out in your map, usually a right-mouseclick.
Press 'Print Screen', and set everything back to usual.
The Comparing :
Open the perfect map in The Gimp, and hit 'open as new layer', locate and open the screenshot you made (usually in the direction you installed GW in, under /screens).
Hit Ctrl-L to open the 'layers' tab, where you should see 2 layers. You should also see a thingy called 'mode' that stands to normal. Click on it, and set it to Difference...
By now your screen should have gone completely crazy, nearly almost dark. The fun is, that all spots that are equal, are dark, those not equal (missed places) are lighter. Now finding them is easy, but you'd best click on Pencil in the Gimp screen, and mark them. If you're done, set 'mode' back to Normal, save the map, and see what you have marked. Exploration time!
The screens i sent along are how maps should look when set to difference, and it's experience to see what is and what isn't significant. If in doubt, check it ingame, or do the trick with zoomed-in maps, and align them (the Gimp can move layers, when things are dark, they're probably aligned). Did you find the spots as well? Nice, then your map is next ^^
Freeze_XJ
Notes :
- If you find a spot on my maps that i haven't uncovered, please tell me where, so i can do
- If you know a better place to host my maps, i will gladly transfer them all... perhaps even .bmps if you have the space for them (that gives nearly perfect black, .jpg kills much data)
- Any thanks, advice or whatever, please tell me, and others in this thread, so we can all enjoy.

The link does not work and I still need help
Freeze_XJ
Can you tell me which linky doesn't do his job? There's about 11 of em in my post, and as far as i can see they're OK...
Anyways, maps checked, but let me tell you that 800x600 isn't exactly great I really pity those that have to work with that every day.

Ive struggled to 95.4%, any pointers would be greatly valued. Thank you.

i used your program but i showed areas i already did. dont know if i did it wrong or good freeze if you or some1 els can check them
im on 98,4% and need jade quary but that leave me with 1,1% fot the rest i cant find please tell me where. (freeze i did the spots you gave me on sing isl etc.) that was good for 0,3%

Freeze_XJ
Halk, i've been checking, and it's a nice mystery indeed... I suppose you're using the best resolution you have, so perhaps the only thing you can do is the complete mapchecking, like the Livinston-method. Use minimap ('u'), and compare to a 100% zoom-map, but it's horrible work. I think you need to scrape the walls somewhere, though i'm lost about where. I've checked your map again, can you send a zoomed-in version of the parts i marked? Perhaps you can walk there as well, that depends on how hard you can run ingame :P
bhavv
The gimp method doesnt really work because of the random fog that you get when you take a screen. Also, can someone find 100% maps without a quest marker on them?
Im on 99.2%, and have compared everything to the zoomed maps and cand see anymore differences. I would appreciate if anyone can help me find the last bits.

Alright I downloade, and tried the Gimp program. Didn't see to be working so I tried increasing the sharpness. And of course, GW was running fullscreen and 1600x800 at highest graphics possible.
So, I did some tries...and failed... see if you can try this attachment perhaps find some areas?
Any help is appreciated

Hi all iam currently at 99.7% without the monastery, arena, and jade quarry.
I found just about all the smal bits that i was missing with Livingston and Leighwyn's guides but there are a few spots that i just can't seem to unfog nomatter where i what i did im so frustrated now!
can anyone plz tell me how to unfog these spots, theyre circled on my map.
the spot below the imperial sanctum outpost (or south of divine path) and the area SW of where you battle shiro were impossible for me to unfog. I tried getting it from the battle area, raisu palace both mission and explorable, imperial sanctum outpost, divine path with no luck!
i put an unfogged pic(purple glow) next to mine, its compared with Livingston's broken down map #1.
http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x...kainengtop.jpg
thankyou all so much!

It CAN be done.I've just checked my map and I've managed to uncover the same part of the Divine Path as Livingston so there is certainly something there that you are missing. I don't remember having any difficulty with this part and I only revealed it about a week ago so it's still there to be found. I'm sure I revealed it after the final mission i.e. on the Divine Path area. Good luck!!

Livingston says that you do not need Jade Quarry anymore. I still need 1.2% and have compared my monks map to both my rit and warriors 100% maps and they all seem the same except for the Jade Quarry. (well and the trick for the phoenix after shiro which I am trying to get to spawn behind the door still). I don't know what I am missing to get the last 1.2%. please help and if there is anyone that is willing to setup a time for mapping the Jade Quarry let me know that too.

Thanks xAKASHAx, I have circled in green the area you need to be in to uncover that zone. Once your in the green area move your character while facing the blurry area. Try not to move too fast or you may not be able to uncover the area,

Well, I managed to get my LC without those 3 little spots.
I had gone over those green areas about 20 times each and just couldn't uncover. I am still going to keep trying even though I have the title already. It just bothers me.
Is the green area by the Undercity entrance, in gw027.jpg, in the undercity or on top left or on top right out of senji's?
Thanks for the help

hello once again. can someone help me scan my map for me. i know i m lacking jade quarry & fort asphenwood. can any1 kindly point me to where i could further uncover more fogs? help is much appreciated.
magicg
Well you should have seen how red my face got when I seen I missed the shing Jea arena. I got my last cartographer title thanks to reply to my need of help. I did not need Jade quarry or the little area where you kill the phoenix and use the necrotic transversal method. I redid the areas that were circled and then used the return trick outside eredon to get the last 0.4% of the map. Thanks again.

Hey all, am finding myself stuck on finishing Cantha GMC, I'm upto 98.9%, i know a few parts I think I'm missing, kind of uncertain, they look a bit faded and on other maps they seem clearer, but when I've tried to unfog them I've had little luck.
Heres my full map and a few pieces I'm having trouble with, JQ I'll be able to get into on the weekend hopefully, but there is a boat NE of Fort Aspenwood, a bit of imperial palace, and that dock on shing jea that you can't reach that all seem a bit foggy to me, any other places that can be found on the full map would be most welcome also ^^
