Description

There is no definitive definition of which country is in which continent. Some lists can't even agree to the total number of continents! The 'Continent' overlay used in the 'Time Mapper UHD' is based on the definitions used by the Amateur Radio community. The oceans are not completely divided to fit the country-boundaries of island nations, and so therefore the positions of continent dividing lines which run through International Waters have no exact defined position. They are therefore placed to correlate with other datasets.

 

This Map Layer is a Vector Layer composed of Lines and Labels, so the Style for each of these can be changed as desired by opening the 'Layers Menu', clicking the wanted layer on the left, then clicking the relevant panel controls on the right.
