Description Dic Driver 2020-04-29 20:41:26 UTC 
SUMMARY
The county in Wales (western part of Great Britain) should be named Ceredigion and not Cardiganshire. The name Cardiganshire ceased to exist in 1997. The county town of Ceredigion is Aberaeron and not Cardigan.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Albert Astals Cid 2020-04-29 20:59:26 UTC 
The map is using the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historic_counties_of_Wales divisions and not the modern https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_government_in_Wales#Principal_areas_of_Wales

As you can see there's no Wexham or Conwy for example.

Maybe the solution is just rename the map from "Great-Britain (Counties)" to "Great-Britain (Historical Counties)" ?

As far as I know it's the same thing in England with the "new" ones https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counties_of_England having things like "West Midlands" while the "old" ones don't https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historic_counties_of_England

The Title rename would indeed be the appropriate solution.  Appreciate the
prompt email.

I live in Boston, US, but have been giving one of my nephews in Wales some
tutorials on the Raspberry Pi and came across the Debian-Edu packages,
which were an excellent find. Since I was born in Ceredigion, I was
particularly interested in the map.

Best Regards
Richard
