Haters are going to hate.
Praisers are going to praise.
The Bungie Forums are what keeps my mind sharp and my fingers active, between writing my own movie scripts, drawing, and studying industrial design. At the moment I'm working on miniatures for a short movie that I'll hopefully be able to film once I've saved up for a camera... That's me, with the mug, trying to have a conversation with Konoko.

It seems a bit silly to have your fictional land mass (of whatever kind) to be based so exactly and specifically on that of an actual one. A continent on a new planet in the exact shape of Australia. A new found island with the same outline as Hawaii. Or even an alien city with the same layout as NYC.
It just hits too close to, well, literally, "home", and breaks a bit of the 4th wall and with that game emergence. Unless of course this is a useless map about nothing, in which case shame on them for clearly hinting it's more than it is. That was stupid.I think it all depends on what Earth means to Destiny. If Earth is of any significance to the story/setting/premise, that part of earth might have something to do with it.
It is possible that it's just a template for a starmap, but on the other hand, why not just draw something random if its similarity to an actual location isn't supposed to be a clue? Bungie fans expect clues, and finding a meta clue, an easter egg, would just be conusing. Something I believe Bungie are aware of.
So I'm going to say the opposite.. :P Before we start looking TOO deep for contradictions.. it might be good to temper our searches with the possibility that Earth, and that specific location, might actually have something to do with Destiny.
But what would that be?
Ideas:
In Destiny parts of Earth are recreated somewhere else.
Something of significance is located on that peninsula/island.
Idk.. You probably have some examples of your own.

I believe this dramatically increases the chances of pirates being in the game. Maybe there will be a Crimson: Steam Pirates easter egg/cameo/crossover?
edit: That place has an underground river. Wasn't there mention of a river and giant spiders in the last Mail sack?
edit2: Here we are:
"We have a lot of potential to put spiders on the other side of that river. And I am committed to delivering on that potential."
Tyson GreenThis makes me believe there are other clues buried within the seemingly meaningless--and possibly distracting--questions and answers of the Mailsack...
