I actually considered that, too. I took the
full map and assumed the top edge was the north pole and the bottom edge was the south pole. The middle line between them (aka the equator) almost coincides with the top end of Port Hempstead's peninsula (just a tad south of the little inlet there), across the north shore of the island of Xoroma, just south of the Lookout Tower in southern Dregar (which is a little north and west of Golden), and along the north shore of Lake Malice on Belinara.
It's important to note that the full map and the individual continent maps don't exactly coincide. For example, the
continent map of Mistone shows the inlet at the north end of Hemp's peninsula to align horizontally pretty well with Vandery and Argas, while the full map shows both to be well north of the horizontal line through the inlet and includes another town on the line (on the north shore of the Gulf of Cor'ys) that doesn't exist on the continent map. I guess that's a long-winded way of saying the maps may not be exact, so the equator might "drift" a little.
