Borders and connections

In Mind the map, we're quite generous in how we define a border. We count man-made connections as borders: bridges, tunnels and boats will be indicated when available. For island countries, you can travel by boat only from/to the geographically closest mainland or island.

We've also added a few naughty shortcuts to make your ride as fast as possible. An example is Spain connecting with Morocco.
