In the old material the areas that have the least coverage are the places south of the Sea of Fallen Stars between Chessenta and Tethyr (Chondath, Sespech, turmish, Orsraun, Shining Plains) and the Shaar and Eastern Shaar areas. Not much about the Black Jungles and the Mhair either.

Everything else has something even in the old stuff, though the greater part of that concentrates on the Dalelands and the Sword Coast North. Kara-Tur has less, as there were relatively few adventure modules made for it and just the one boxed set and what precursor stuff was in the 1E Oriental Adventures book.

There would still be enough to do nations and such based on those if you wanted and plenty of special provinces for a map, but specials would have to be redone anyway.
I have a bit of good stuff for the Shining South, all the places you mentioned, and of course Maztica (and the northern stuff described in City of Gold). Also can dig around to find old web enhancements that describe the Border Kingdoms and the chondath-to-tethyr area very well. Also, Sea of Fallen Stars gives great details for undersea races.

As far as the continents that are "blank".... all there are are vague rumors (and this is after a personal plea to Mr. Greenwood himself to explain what they were).. but apparently a map designer / DM / whoever would have carte blanche to put whatever made sense there. I am thinking of adding African-style mythos to one continent, perhaps remnant populations of the various Creator Races holding sway in some of these "dark continents". Although I am tempted to use the round one on the bottom right for a straight up copy of Rokugan (although with Shou-Lung and Wa and Kozakura we may already have our fill of OA-style provinces/nations).

In any case, Edi, send me a PM and I'll see what I can do about getting you the full-scale image. It still needs GOBS of touch up work on just the colors, and it is devoid of borders, names, and city markings (although for some reason, major roads are on there, and the Dragonwall of all things). I am only a bit concerned about the file size, although in this day of movie downloading a couple hundred meg (maybe? haven't made a non-Paint-Shop-Pro full-sized .bmp or .tga yet) should not be a problem.
