1/8 scale (256x256 tiles): http://edc.srvs.us/1110-eighth/ 1/4 scale (512x512 tiles): http://edc.srvs.us/1110-quarter/ 1/2 scale (1024x1024 tiles): http://edc.srvs.us/1110-half/ full size (2048x2048 tiles): http://edc.srvs.us/1110/ None of them crash Chrome on my Mac, but good luck with that...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

the white square at 11n11e is not at the good position on this map. I wonder why 11n11e and 11s11e are empty.

All of the 11x11y squares are empty, the south ones are just black instead of white. I've not worked out why yet.

Somebody in another forum pointed out that 1111 is the next comic.

I wrote some JS to add keyboard controls to the map, because clicking and dragging is for suckers. http://www.potch.me/blog/press-and-hold.html

I've integrated this into a full-screen view: http://ares.aylett.co.uk/xkcd/

Thanks man, that's especially useful to find the Easter eggs since you can use ctrl + or - to zoom in and out and stay oriented. Between that, and using this as a map, you can pretty much check out the whole comic without getting frustrated: http://www.wickedglitch.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/resul...
