I’ll give you some more well-earned flowers, the map is, as always, key to the experience and is the best anyone could hope to have.
I’m not hijacking this thread and I won’t mention this again, but as far as the Far Cry series I’ve only ever played the first three and wasn’t especially impressed. Never got the later games because of that. For the best experience which one should I start with? I’m thinking it’s like Fallout where the better experience starts with Fallout 3.
It is seriously the best map anyone has made of GZ
Ok yeah they look like great games, I just didn’t know where to start with them for the best time. Thanks.

I missed some, too.
I’m quite sure (of the total of 14 far cry games) that I just played Far Cry 1, 2, 3, 4 and I’m currently playing 6.
But in the end they all were totally worth being played.
The experience was almost the same for all: Ubisoft-formula. Newer games of course had more features, the stories were all cool and crazy to some extent.
I would just play them in the order they’ve been released.

The map is great and the greatest one that exists.
There is just one thing I’d like to be improved: interactivity with different filters.
But that’s nothing I would expect from Gysbert.
The work, he has done, already is priceless.
No sure what you wanted filtered (loot, easter-eggs, etc), but it’s also a bit late in the life-span of GZ to make extended efforts for more map luxury.
Of course, you’re right.
That’s what I wanted to say.
Placing my answer here to keep the topics a bit on topic.
Yes, I am still updating things when I think a change is needed. I was thinking if such a big strangely curved bone could be really from dinosaurs. I actually did some research looking at big bones. So when I could not find any I decided it was more likely a strangely curved log, and changed the label. I found three of those logs up to now. They all were a recent addition. As for why they were added, I don’t know.
I also did some corrections of the topographical lines when I notice differences when I look for something and compare my map with the game map. 
Examples:
Ahhh, I thought you’ve been updating this map over time, it’s incredibly useful, and I really appreciate the time and effort you put into it. It makes such a big difference for everyone using it!
Getting it right really matters, especially in a game like this where navigation and details can make or break the experience. Your attention to things like rechecking labels and correcting topographical lines shows how much you care, and it definitely doesn’t go unnoticed. I’ve just read all of this thread and it’s a fascinating process!
Thanks again for all the work you put into the map. It’s appreciated more than you know!
Now I really, really want to spot something new so it gets on your map!!!
Map updated with some goodies, and fixed a missing Safehouse icon.
I’m running into people from time to time who are just now getting into GZ, so it’s very much appreciated that you’re still updating the map.
BIRDHOUSES!!! It feels like Christmas has come early! Many thanks @Gysbert for keeping this map up to date. I can’t wait to get home and examine it in detail! 
Remember that the bird icon only gives a proximity to the location of the birdhouses. So far there are 10.
Let me know if you find new ones.
I’ll keep a lookout and be sure to let you know if I discover any additional birdhouses. The search continues!
Just spotted Old Blue Eye on the map….brilliant addition! 
Just updated the map with some odd nick nacks and of course the location of the second Mkay magazine. I also colored all red cabins on the map pink. I am still working on that though because it’s easy to miss some.
If you spot one that I missed please let me know. 
This was a false alarm. Thought I had located something to contribute, but I had spoken too soon and misremembered the correct location. As usual, your devotion to the map is incredible!
And while I’m here I’ll ask, was there ever a reason or background given concerning the removed dig hole north of Hagaboda on the semi-island where the loot cache is located?
That always bugged me.
No, but speculating: We did had a discussion about structures suddenly appearing overnight, which seems a bit strange. So our guess was that the devs, who then were actively reading on the forums, decided to make sites appear in stages. We still can see spots that were prepared for building, but then they never finished them.
The Big Square hole seemed to be such a stage, it went from a hole to a flat concrete surface (during the New dawn update).
I see. I remember the hole as you pictured it, but I can’t recall seeing the flat concrete surface. This makes me think of the various “stairs to nowhere” that used to be, and now can’t be found anymore, and also in Garphammar where the cassette tape(?) used to float in midair, and now is at the same coordinates at the same height above ground lying on a table in a house that didn’t exist before lol.
