This large detailed map of Asia is presented on the equatorial Gnomonic projection. includes at least one group of phantom islands. "Los Jardines or the 12 islands" are marked in two separate places on the map - once "according to the Spanish charts", and in a different location "according to Captain Marshall" (discoverer of the Marshall islands), both north and east of the Mariana Islands, even though they do not exist.
