Eastern Ocean
Oceans, oct 2013, click for large

Eastern Ocean includes a large part of the grid map, East to the large mainland continents. It has a very low sim density. The islands composing it can easy be divided into remote seas. Name is not official, it comes from its map position to the mainland continents. However, this name was previously suggested in ContinentDetector.

Borders, sectors and coordinates

To West, the border is formed by the continents Corsica, Nautilus, Satori and Shopping Continent. The western border can be considered the line between grid sectors J11 and K11. In North and South, it extends as far as the last isolated sim. To East, it vanishes at the last sim, somewhere at the half distance between Corsica and Zindra.

The ocean coveres many grid sectors (see Grid Sector): K9, K10, M10, K11, L11, M11, K12, L12, M12, K13, L13, M13. With 13 grid sectors, Eastern Ocean is the larger ocean of the grid. Even if it is so large, it concentrates only a small number of sims.

Coordinates are given in sims, format longitude (min-max)/latitude (min-max), as given for every sim at Gridsurvey[1]. Previously given coordinates were 1179-1500/500-1500. Now, best coordinates are 1100-1400/900-1400.

Geography

This large ocean can be divided into many subdivisions. Previously, some divisions were allready shown.

North Basin

This includes some parts of the map in North - East. The islands in that part have the highest density in the Eastern Ocean, but still are more rare then in other parts of the grid (like Northern Ocean or Western Ocean. Sim density drops gradually from West to East. A lot of void spaces appear between diverse sim structures.

Gaeta Sea

Also known as West Gaeta Sea.

Remote North-East Sea

Serena

Sharp Islands
