The name of the island I live on (Amami) is misspelled. That does not give me a great deal of confidence about the rest of the map.

I see Amami, what is the error?

On the detailed map showing Taiwan etc, the text on my image is clearly "Amani". I think that's true on the "big map" also.

On the Greenwich-centered maps, it shows Amami in both the English[1] en the French[2] version at least.

Where did you find the detailed maps?

I was looking at the slide show, see for example:

It is the most obvious place to look (being on the front page of the website).
