Apple: 749x842 for Map of England
B&N: 576x648 for Map of England
Kobo: 512x576 for Map of England

These are clearly what are required. And again these are based on the output that I was getting from Calibre 6.14.1 and which produce an output that looks good on the specified platforms.

I certainly can do this, but I am wondering what is wrong with the output of the images from Calibre. What is wrong with the reduced images output from Calibre?
All of your specified resolutions are too small. You need a hi-res image to be of any use. Especially for an image you actually read. You need at least 1600 lines to be of any real use.
