What the Maldives map covers
This map cuts the Maldives into 21 regions, and every one of them takes its own color. By mapped area the largest is Malé (about 9.8 km², 30% of the country's mapped surface); the smallest is Vaavu at about under 1 km². That is a 158-fold difference across the same map, so the small ones need a zoom before they are easy to hit. The mapped outline reaches from 1°S to 7°N and spans roughly 1° of longitude. It sits on both sides of the equator.

Tips for coloring the Maldives map
- With 21 regions you have a comfortable number for a 4–6 color scheme: group them by whatever you are showing, then label each group once in the legend.
- Malé alone covers about 30% of the mapped area, so a shaded choropleth will always be dominated by it. If you are mapping a quantity, import your numbers and switch to the bubble view, which sizes circles by value instead of by land area.
- The country is far taller than it is wide, so a portrait export wastes less space — and the legend sits better in a top or bottom corner than beside the map.
