Cook Islands 423
The map has a white dotted line which
is intended to indicate the course of Magellan's voyage around South
America. However, the course that is traced fails to indicate stops
made at Rio de Janeiro from December 13 to December 26, 1519, the Rio
Plata on January 10, and the port of St. Julian where they wintered
and refitted from March 31 until August 24, 1520. Although they should
be indicated on the map, they are not strictly "map" errors.
