Generally agree. Those are some good points Kell.
It is just. Sometimes it hits me when people so easily rejects something really JUST because they never saw it. That dosen't disprove anything.
Consider that drawing ravine or canyon with 90degree curves would seem strange and "impossible" several years ago, but after we saw high-res images of mars depicting this:

all of a sudden when someone makes maps like that, the voices of "garbage map" says "well done, great map"
OH the irony !
Edit: And as Naima posted already Westeros is based on our world's land. Other then "I don't like the land" (which is totally fine considering one's aesthetic prefereces) i would not agree that it's "garbage". You would have to say that Ireland and UK are garbage too to some degree
