Added thanks. I cant read your language...but I have friends

Presented below is the Venus (i.e. shift corrected) version of the type6 map which has the same content as other types but is smallest in size.

Now we can download a nice usable map

As to the names Mars and Venus, pepole refer to the shifted maps as maps with Martian coordinates, i.e. a coordinate system that only aliens can understand and use, not for people on Earth. In my Venus series maps I called the shift-corrected coordinates Venusian coordinates, meaning they are much close to the real Earthly coordinates than Martian coordinates, but no guarantee that they are 100% the same as original coordinates without shift.
Great, thanks for this creative explanation.
