Ted has posted close ups of one of the War maps

There are some details lifted right from Star Charts that shouldn't be there, such as 'Route of V'Ger' and 'Route of USS Enterprise-A (2283)'

Not like it's a big deal, since it's only barely (if ever) legible onscreen, but still...

Yeah I doubt we were meant to get pictures this close up in an actual episode.
It was nice to see "Kling" again on that other one, at least. But not entirely worth it.
And the Klingon Civil War battle line from Pheben to Qo'noS. And Iconia's location shouldn't be known yet.
One of the tweets on there suggests that the producers knew the fans would analyze every pixel of every frame of every episode and that this is actually a hidden clue that DISCO was in a different timeline/universe from prime all along.
I just personally chalk it up to a set dresser taking the easy way out with existing assets. Happens all the time.

Between taking the easy way out, and messing with us on Canon,pick the most likely one.
Yes, I believe Occam’s Razor applies here. 
Looks like they just imported the Star Charts/Stellar Cartography maps and made alterations.
There's so much stuff in there, you can't blame a non-die-hard missing some things here and there.
What?
ETA: A quick Google search reveals it appears to be an excerpt of this Wikipedia article. For some reason.

Not the first time that has happened on a TV show. Not sure if it has happened with trek before.
If they think whatever text is there is going to be illegible on screen they'll just put any ol text there.
Judging by the size of the font, I doubt it would have been readable.

And they call themselves fans! They should know that fans will freeze frame, blow up and examine every frame with a fine tooth comb and microscope.
Oh, I'm sure it was completely unreadable. I just don't understand why they even went through the effort... if they were already lifting a map from Star Charts, why paste random text there? If they thought that part of the map was too empty, they could have just written in lorem ipsum or a string of numbers or whatever, and no one would know the difference. And yet they specifically pasted in some text from a random Wikipedia article. Just seems weird to me, is all.
^And there's probably some DSC graphic artist laughing maniacally right now at our confusion.
