Page 36 of To Bloom Below the Web, says the Gossamer Mountains are 300 miles to the east of Willowshore, which is supposed to be in the Specterwood. But in the Tian Xia World Guide, the Mountains are to the west of the Specterwood. Also the Canary Inn that is supposed to lead to the Gossamer Mountains is East of Willowshore.
What's the official geography? Where is Karahai supposed to be? Is Willowshore closer to Sze or Baankai? Is it closer to the river or the mountains?

Karahai is east of Willowshore, and the Gossamer Mountains are west of Willowshore; sounds like we had a few typos in the adventure, alas. The road past Canary Inn eventually turns west and leads up into the mountains over the course of many miles.
As for exactly where Willowshore and Karahai are located in Shenmen—the gap between the Adventure Path and the publication of the world books kinda threw that bit of coordination between products into mayhem and chaos, so we never quite got organized enough to make that happen.
On the map of Shenmen on page 194 of the Tian XIa World Guide, Karahai and Willowshore would be almost overlapping since one inch on that map is 250 miles. Karahai is located on the coast of the inland sea, just above the point where the forest goes back to the coast to the northeast of the "D" in the SPECTERWOOD label. Willowshore's not much further away. The river and all that don't show up on the map at all.
Distance wise, it's about the same distance in a straight line from Sze or Baakai.
