spelling: place names are spelled differently in the map and in the column and row of the table of distances; fitting three different spellings into such a small piece of paper is an achievement. Places in one are not always in the other.
The reason for this confusion is that the towns in the table of distances are those originally used by Norden, 1625, copied by Simmons, 1635-36 and again used here in this edition by Jenner, 1643. The places on the map are chosen in 1643, presumably without reference to the table.
Disconcerting for the traveller!
