Current Map of Polynesian

[R Jollisse]

I understand names have changed of buildings; is there a current map with the new building names?

check out tikiman's website, can't think of the exact website off the top of my head, and I'm not on my normal computer so I don't have it saved as a favorite. But do a google search or something and it should come up! Or I know some people here know the exact addy.

Sorry, was going to hook you up with the link, but I'm getting a "site temporarily unavailable" message.

The name changes are:
Bali Hai --> Tonga
Tahiti --> Aotearoa
Fiji --> Fiji
Samoa --> Tuvalu
Tonga --> Hawaii
Hawaii --> Samoa
Bora Bora --> Niue
Maori --> Rarotonga
Oahu --> Tokelau
Moorea --> Tahiti
Pago Pago --> Rapa Nui

Here's a link to a current map.

Just out of curiousity, why did they change the name?

I think the old names were not "real" names of Polynesian Islands. The new names are actual names of real Polynesian Islands.

Hmm... Oahu is real... it's one of the islands of Hawaii. Moorea is real too! And Bali.. And I heard of Bora Bora. They are all real.

I think I remember reading that it was to make it seem more geographically correct. I haven't tried it but I read that if you look at a map of the Poly and a map of the real Polynesian islands they should come close to matching up geographically. If anyone has tried it, let us know if it works.
