Help me understand

Hi.  I'm intrigued in understanding more about the flat earth.  I've spent some time looking through the wiki and there are only a couple of maps to help me visualise it. 

This one seems to explain the most. http://wiki.tfes.org/File:Voliva_map.jpg

Does anyone have any better maps that explain more?

Do you see any problems depicting the Earth that way? Which problems?

You may find Orlando Ferguson's map to be more illustrative. It's my personal favourite.

Read the FAQ before asking your question - chances are we already addressed it.

If we are not speculating then we must assume

Can you explain the depicted donut-like curvature? 
Is the map suggesting that the earth is thusly curved? and not flat?

I am just keen to get a better understanding.  I'm not suggesting any problems.

Thanks for this map.  Less flat and more of a concave earth.  From lots of the reading i have done on the site i can see how this existing in space compared to the other "flat disc" descriptions given.

Maybe more confused now.
