Narrative:
Stars map #58 depicts an incorrect drawing of the new jaike 2 arrival. Aircraft will fly a course .60 mi northwest of the course depicted. Management has been informed; but no action has been taken as of yet. Also; controllers are not being informed of this issue. If an uninformed controller instructs the aircraft to correct for that .60 mi difference; they could be placing aircraft in close proximity to other aircraft. In addition; the names of the waypoints on map #58 should be either on a different map or reduced in size to avoid clutter and confusion.

Title: PHL CTLR VOICED CONCERN REGARDING INACCURATE STARS VIDEO MAP INFO.
Narrative: STARS MAP #58 DEPICTS AN INCORRECT DRAWING OF THE NEW JAIKE 2 ARR. ACFT WILL FLY A COURSE .60 MI NW OF THE COURSE DEPICTED. MGMNT HAS BEEN INFORMED; BUT NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN AS OF YET. ALSO; CTLRS ARE NOT BEING INFORMED OF THIS ISSUE. IF AN UNINFORMED CTLR INSTRUCTS THE ACFT TO CORRECT FOR THAT .60 MI DIFFERENCE; THEY COULD BE PLACING ACFT IN CLOSE PROX TO OTHER ACFT. IN ADDITION; THE NAMES OF THE WAYPOINTS ON MAP #58 SHOULD BE EITHER ON A DIFFERENT MAP OR REDUCED IN SIZE TO AVOID CLUTTER AND CONFUSION.
