3rd version of this file(Corrected a typo on Habbanya Erg. Sorry about that, folks. Thanks to Whizkid for catching that.)
Francesco Neri had posted a version of the Dune board that was a visual feast.
http://boardgamegeek.com/image/495528/duneUnfortunately, it contained a large number of typos and Rim Wall West was mistakenly shown as desert territory.
With my wife's help - we've proofed the map and fixed everything we could find. (Including the Arrakeen typo and the Habbanya Erg one contained in my original upload)
The overall design is what carries the day for me. Neri's choice to have the territory labels face outward (rather than towards a single player) reminds me of Avalon Hill's Diplomacy boards. Egalitarian, and attractive.
The choice to make like territories appear the same makes this a more usable board than the original. If a design similar to Neri's board had shipped with the original game - you wouldn't have people asking questions like "What's rock - what's not?"

Neri had posted links to corrections, but none of them seemed to be functional.
All props to Neri for the design - I just tuned it up for my use and figured I'd share.
Happy gaming.
