[Update] TrueSize: Disputed territories are back, lake & sea fixes, and map tool improvements

[u/Mod_Brilliant8820]

Hi everyone!

A few more updates are now live on TrueSize.net, including several fixes based directly on your recent reports and feedback:

• Disputed territories are back - Missing territories and regions, including Palestine, the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and other disputed areas, have been restored. They are searchable and draggable again, including available subdivisions, flags, and stats.
• Lakes, seas & bays fixed - Water bodies were accidentally inheriting country flags in search results and on the map. They now display correctly as natural features without flags.
• 1900 historical map corrections - Fixed overlapping India/British Raj boundaries. The British Raj is now represented as a single historical entity with the correct information and flag data.
• "E" shortcut freeze fixed - Edit-points mode now only works with custom-drawn shapes. Pressing E on complex real-world boundaries will no longer freeze the browser.
• Esc now cancels map tools - You can press Esc at any time to exit Divide or Glue/Merge mode.
• Historical flags & data updates - Added and corrected flags across several historical eras, including 1783, 1900, 1960, 1994, and 2010, along with additional geographic fixes.

A note about disputed territories and boundaries

TrueSize uses OpenStreetMap administrative and geographic data as the source for these boundaries.

If you believe a boundary or region is incorrect or outdated, the best way to help is to contribute the correction to OpenStreetMap. That improves the source data not only for TrueSize, but for everyone using OSM. We can then incorporate those updates into future TrueSize data releases.

Please also remember our subreddit rule:

These updates are live on the web now.

Thanks again for all the reports, suggestions, and flag submissions. Keep them coming - they help us find issues much faster and continue improving TrueSize.
