Pacific islands

Ahoj!
The Swiss Home Islands are a fictional landmass.

What I found on the subject:

New Switzerland is the cluster of large Islands between the Marshals and Hawaii.

and

Hm, it's somewhere around Palmyra/Johnston then.

I have a very hazy idea as to where the mentioned locations are. They may - or not be - one and the same - I dunno ...

Thank you.  They have a shape on the itty-bitty Navalism maps we have - has this been borrowed from a historical land mass somewhere?

Preferably with cities and major infrastruce marked, as well a suitable landing beaches

One thing at a time...

Ahoj!
Looks a bit like Spitzbergen (Svalbard).

Would be nice to know about where everything is on those islands...

Hopefully DF will get 'round to it someday ....

I would be happy too, if someone could get me a decent map...

Gimme a sense of how big the Home Islands are supposed to be, and what you envision them to be like, and I'll sketch something onto the map in question.  You can tinker with it after that.

For a base I used Numanor and then cut it down into islands, so you might be able to use that fictional landmass for scale.

Can you link me to a map?

Oddly it is bigger but no more detailed.

Must be some trickery of Saruman the Off-White...

Friggin Network Problems, this is the third time I try to respond.

Looking at the map the Swiss Home Islands seem to be around the size of Celebes/Phillipines/Britain.
