This locator map image could be re-created using vector graphics as an SVG file. This has several advantages; see Commons:Media for cleanup for more information. If an SVG form of this image is available, please upload it and afterwards replace this template with {{vector version available|new image name}}.
It is recommended to name the SVG file “British Empire and Commonwealth 1939.svg”—then the template Vector version available (or Vva) does not need the new image name parameter.
Warning: XCF files must be compatible with GIMP 2.8 in order to be displayed. Files created with GIMP 2.10 format currently are not supported by the MediaWiki software (see T196054). Furthermore, indexed images are not supported and must be converted to RGB or grayscale.
The factual accuracy of this map or the file name is disputed.
Reason: It does not include British Honduras. It does not include British Cameroon. It accidentally includes Macau and Reunion Island. The borders of Poland are missing, as it is using a post-annexation map of Germany and the USSR.
