Note:

This is a Dutch chart of the Indian Ocean and East Indies with Portuguese influence, easily perceived by the number of Portuguese flags and coats of arms and the Portuguese nomenclature. The charts extends from the east coast of Africa to Japan including Madagascar, the Arabian Peninsula, India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Cambodia, Indonesia Vietnam, China, the Philippines, Korea and Papua New Guinea. West of India the coast line is fairly accurate but on east the representation starts to be a little more distorted. The Gulf of Thailand is greatly exaggerated, the south coast of China is somewhat distorted and Korea is represented as an island instead of a Peninsula. However, the Philippines are already correct, the Island of Java is not enlarged as was customary, as was with Papua New Guinea, and Japan is in the Dourado-style. Macau is written on land on the east side of the Pearl River Estuary in red, normally used for important locations.

The map is ornamented with flags, coats of arms and compass roses. There are 12 flags on the map, six with the cross of the Order of Christ and the other six with the coat of arms of Portugal. A big heraldic device of Portugal is inside a strapwork oval decoration in India. As for the compass roses there are five, all 32-point and with a fleur-de-lis indicating north, a cross on east point and colored green, red, blue and gold. The rhumb lines for the principal winds are black, half-winds are green and quarter-winds are red.
