File talk:Gibraltar map-en-edit2.svg

Incomplete map in full size.

The full size of this map includes only the northern half of Gibralter. You cannot scroll down. Why is that? Can it be fixed? This smaller version doesn't include the text on the map. Oddly, it was selected as the picture of the day for September 10 2008. That far in advance? It's also named as one of the best maps in the encyclopedia with a gold star nomination. It doesn't qualify as is, but it would if improved, and would be one of the best maps I've found of Gibralter if the full size included the entire territory. Wlegro (talk) 14:56, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

There's nothing wrong with the image but I think I know what your problem might be. When I view the full image using Adobe SVG Viewer, I can only see the top section of the image and have no scroll bar. However, if you hold down the "Alt" key you can click and drag the image around with your mouse. Alternatively you can view it in a program such as Inkscape. Hope that helps! --Gibmetal 77^talk 17:02, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, but I have the same problem, and the suggestion above does not work. I'm not going to download Inkscape just so I can see the full map, either. 76.21.8.213 (talk) 05:27, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Sad to say, but IE (which I'm "forced" to use) doesn't have full SVG support...as yet. Such images are better viewed in Firefox. --Slgrandson (How's my egg-throwing coleslaw?) 04:37, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Try Another Browser

OK, I tried to view it above in Safari, and had the no-scrollbar issue. I did get a functioning scroll bar in Opera, however. 76.21.8.213 (talk) 05:30, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

How so?

I wonder what criteria was used to nominate and choose this map image as a featured picture. Besides not being a photograph or video (not a representation of the real world but an interpretation) the issue of Gibraltar is geopoliticaly controversial and the portrayal of its actual situation in a featured place as mentioned: might be a breach of Wikipedia neutrality point of view policy. If i was Spanish, i'd be outraged. As an argentinian i'd be outraged to see a map of our Malvinas Islands in a Wiki frontpage, with only english names, since such are an english colony and ARE disputed at the UN.
