[REL] Navigation Map Make-Over with Airbases

So, can you check if its the same in your game? Look at Christmas Island.

About Midway - I was asking similar thing in RSRD thread. But now, after looking at this mod (NavMap Makeover) I think it can be easier than I though, because after installing Nbjacksos mod Ive got Pearl sub base from TMO back in RSRD, so I think it can be done by editing LOC file in editor, choose "location editing mode" (or something like that, can't remember its precise name), select Midway, edit it. There was such option to select the location mode between 2D/3D, but I wasnt brave enough to save the file and check whether it works or not, cause its a little bit confusing to me - select location map dds file and thats it?? All the location will be there in 3D?
But we will never know unless we try it, I guess

OK, got a closer look, know how to edit a location: just do above, and in location properties window point it to right dat and dds files; there should be 2 for Midway: one for environment (trees and so on), one for infrastructure (ports, airfields...).; so, edit it, place it in right spot on the map (if needed) and... and here come another problem :P How to save it??? It wants to validate it (like normal mission) but finds some errors like ships without waypoints or too close to each other. Maybe I should choose other saving option, like save as map notes layer or something like that?
I could manually edit that file with notepad++, but I cant change location placement that way
