Well. I finally managed to patch the game to 102 without anymore problems. Since I was hoping that the bogus map would somehow change after an update:
The map about the uncle states "south of campeche" .. with the Rum Rock landmark. But the locations/Islands look like totally inverted: As if an Island looks like some lake... and land looks like sea.. so most of the recognition spots look as if they would be somewhere in the middle of the sea we searched everywhere: We went to that big lake below Campeche i think Granada? In hope to find a duplicate landmark or something.
We tried to invert the map from north/south, also taking into account scale oddities. So we went all the way to the peninsula which would actually be northeast of Campeche.

Well anyway. This shit is totally annoying.

Although my hopes aren't too high; since i read that existing games (savegames) won't be affected by the update.
So I finally managed to apply the patch. Now suddenly the menulanguage has switched to German. I really wouldn't mind too much since I understand it perfectly; But still it's wierd. Also all the old savegames are greyed out, unselectable.

So is it normal that the savegames from 1.0.0 will not work with patch 1.0.2 or is this behavior erratic?
I will post a screenshot of the maplocation by chance if some people reply: but the best solution would be a working 102 with old savegames AND possibly fixed map display? - Else, well I suppose one would have to start a game from scratch.

Thanks in advance.

Alrighty! Well the savegames in the folder just had to be renamed with the german names and they work to be loaded now.

But obviously the map is still the same; So maybe someone could help out with that?
Would an uploaded savegame help?...

Well as I said it's german now;
Region south of campeche.

The thing about the map directions is that the compass bearings are somewhat .... liberal. "South of Campeche" falls in an arc between:
Draw a line from Campeche to Villahermosa. East of that line.
Draw a second line from Campeche to where the Yucatan coast (roughly North-South) meets the Honduran coast (roughly West-East). West of that line.

So, your location is somewhere between those two lines.

Where the Yucatan meets the Honduran coast, there's a couple lakes that extend westward into the Yucatan. You can actually sail into the first one. That second interior lake has a coastal landmark named Rum ______ so often, we've come to call it Rum Lake.

Anyway, my guess is that if you landed just East of the Yucatan-Honduran intersection, and then headed due South, you'd run into your Uncle's cabin.
