Exactly. My thought also. That amount of sailing and exploring would have been very, very difficult in those days. I think it's fake.

Yes, a lot of the areas shown by the map are difficult to sail a ship through today. We have icebreakers with reinforced hulls to do it; the fifteenth-century sailors didn't. I agree that it's fake.
