Land portion
Did the islands just south to the Land of Lightning suddenly get connected? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 18:58, November 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * That has been rather inconsistent throughout the manga. In the beginning, they were mostly shown disconnected, but lately they been shown to be connected more often. Hence why I decided to change them to reflect both situations. At least until we get a clear and detailed map to settle the issue. —ShounenSuki (talk 19:08, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

Countries/villages
I think that only countries, villages and the allied shinobi alliance should have "text" or special icons. other things could still have an icon, and be linked on click. S im A nt 19:57, November 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds nice, but how does it work? —ShounenSuki (talk 20:05, November 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think http://toolserver.org/~dapete/ImageMapEdit/ImageMapEdit.html?en would be the best to use, I played with it a bit. Since it uses absolute coordinates, you would have to use the thumbnail image, just paste http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20101108224127/naruto/images/thumb/3/3e/Naruto_World_Map.svg/450px-Naruto_World_Map.svg.png (zoom in with browser text zoom option perhaps to help). Create a separate polygon for each link. (it was working for me when i first used it.. but now the shading of the selected area is off...) At the end you just copy (junk numbers for exxample) I'd advise making small shapes to test it out first.  S im A nt  20:26, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

Shimogakure
Shimogakure exist?--Leodix - My Talk - Contributions 03:52, November 21, 2010 (UTC)

Yukigakure (Snow)?
I know it's not in the hard-canon, but Kishimoto does seem to at least refer to movies and fillers as if they were part of the same world, so it seems likely that it's a 'real place'. Anyone have an idea as to it's location? I would have thought, if I was new to the fandom, that it was really the Land of Frost- the buffer nation south of Kumo. However, that country has it's own Hidden Village, judging by the icon (we don't know a lot about it) that doesn't match the four-circles (snowlakes, not snow flake) design on Yukigakure's headband. We know that Team 7 sailed to reach it, for several days. We know it's north, probably beyond Kumo, but there's never been any further indication. Is it even part of the 'elemental nations', or do the citizens thereof just call it that for their own sanity and understanding? They obviously have ninja and (at the least) a similar culture, but they seem to be quite far off, too.

I have a similar question about the origin of the Suna invaders in The Legend of the Stone of Gelel (or whatever it's really called), which was Shipp Movie 2, I believe, but that's much less important to me at the moment- Mostly I just want to know in what direction they sailed from, and how long their journey was.

Any input/answers would be appreciated, so thanks!
