The spot at Shing Jea is explored from Sunqua Val, tested un character that had not explored that one yet.
Agree with Jade on the spot above Zen.

Mmm, just tested the spot above Zen and I can't get it unfogged as complete as the original map.
And there still seems to be a tiny bit missing from the Shing Jea spot.

At the moment I wonder if the original maps have changed, like the Tyrian one, or that it's still possible to explore them like the ones in Livingston's posting.

Forget that part about Zen, got the spot where I made the screenshot:

I'm at 98.9% and I need Jade Quarry mapped. Correct me if i'm wrong but do you get the map if you watch the cutscene? I have waited for hours on end trying to get in without luck.

You don't get the map of the Jade Quarry by watching the cinematic, though you do reveal another part of the map by watching it. Unless you can get a group to explore with you, your chances of mapping the quarry are slim. Your best bet is to try finding any other places you might have missed, as you don't actually need Jade Quarry to reach 100%. The quarry adds only .5% according to the wiki anyway, so it wouldn't be enough to put you at 100%.

CrowRbot is right, you don't need JQ anymore, but you need to have a lot of edges covered.

The trick with JQ is knowing when you go in and having some company.
I did JQ several times now and some company helps.
The reason I say bring some company is because it allows one player to switch districts from time to time to see how many are on there.
(S)he could inform the other side about the number of people on 'your' side.
Only chat in local, people then know there are active players.
Waiting for 30-45 mins are not unusual.

On Euro districts, there is a 'problem'.
There is not one euro district, but one for each language.
However, those are all brought in one match when they activate the timer.
This could lead to the situation that people enter 'JQ english 1' and leave because there is nobody there, but 'JQ german 1' has 7 on that side and 8 on the other.

For best chances, I'd say go American 1 in the weekend.
Make sure the US had some time to get awake (so talking afternoon or evening in Europe). Since the American districts don't have the problem I described above, you have better chance to see people there * hint to A-net: remove the language seperation on JQ euro districts *.

Or team up here on guru or on other forums (pug thread) or arrange a guild/alliance event.

Hopefully, I have found this thread (the first one made by Livingstone) as I was at 95,4 % of Cantha. Thanks to the help of this great topic " Livingston's Guide to becoming a Grandmaster Canthan Cartographer!" I arrived this morning to become Grandmaster Cantha Cartographer by following all the advices, looked at all the maps and circles and above all by hugging all the walls , it works perfectly ! Just wanted to post to say :thanks, thanks, thanks a lot Livingstone ! Couldn't have the title without this help.

Hug the walls !!

How can you explorer #6?
I might have done it already, but I'm not sure, my own map has a tiny bit more fog. I tried from inside Kaineng Center, Raisu Pavilion, Bejunkan Pier, Divine Path(explorable area after killing Shiro), Raisu Palace(town, mission, explorable)
...so I MIGHT have it already, but I'm not sure.

Even with this awesome guide, it will still take players forever to get grandmaster cartographer. I'm not going for this title ever.

Woot thx a lot! Just reached 100%.
A very good way to reach the last 0.1% is just watching the cinematics from Fort Aspenwood(both sides) and Jade Quarry(both sides).
I didn't even do the mission Jade Quarry and I still skipped a lot of other places.
Map comparing rocks! It goes a lot faster than scraping everything.

I have a question, there's a couple areas I'm having a really hard time with. I've tried some techniques that people suggested. I redid Viz to get the bottom and from Shenzun. And that's all I got from it. As well, the smaller piece near Sunji was partially uncovered but there's still some left. Anyone got any ideas?

I had that problem as well, the little area next to Senji's Corner and Naphui Quarter(the square on your map), I couldn't explorer it in any way.

I dont think people even look in this thread to help anymore but I have the exact same places as well.

What is even more frustrating is that im on 99.9%!
