A 200px map is going to be unreadable on high resolution eInk screen. Especially if it's meant to be displayed full screen.

The problem is too many eBooks use images that are just too small. But what can be done about it? If you make the images high enough resolution, and you don't want them to be full screen, they'll be a bit too large on a non-high resolution eInk screen. What code can be used so it works on a regular Reader, a high resolutions screen, and an ultra-high resolution screen?
