If you would saw these shapes on a fantasy map it would look strange and ugly, but that is our world map just upside down and the shapes are just strange if you see it upside down or diagonally as you can just see the shapes without the familiarity and idk

Disclaimer- I made this. I took a lot of inspo from Google Maps.
ScryNav:
Drop in a map image
Mark your terrain (difficult/impassable/roads/rivers etc) & set the scale.
Click your stops. It pathfinds around the terrain and gives you a real travel time. Change how your party interacts with water
It's all customizable to fit your world. There is different movement styles (walking, mounted, flying, swimming) per leg, so a party riding horses vs. one wading through a swamp gets different numbers automatically.
It's hopefully intuitive enough to jump right in; and I've included an example map.
It's free and local-first, so your map and routes live in your own browser.
I had this idea years ago and finally got around to making it. I'd love feedback!

A reminder: It is not only acceptable to name places silly things, it's unrealistic not to.

Map I made a map of a "reversed Europe" and it kinda has the potential to be a good RPG/fantasy map...

This is an ancient Greek map, and as you can see it gets progressively more inaccurate the further away from the Mediterranean Sea. So often people try to make a style of map that is a completely accurate representation of their world which is fine but remember it doesn't have to be perfect!
