So far I've seen you do your tests near the equator as far as I can recall, so I'm curious to know how this disparity between SH3's Longitude and the real world's, ie. the set width in SH3 versus the narrowing one as you move towards the poles, affects navigation for us. If I'm near the north pole in SH3 will this pose problems for us using existing almanac data? If so, how do you propose overcoming this, and if not... well why doesn't that change what the almanac says for our purposes?

Is everything just simply solved by converting from the spherical world to the cylindrical one as you did in your 3 point plotting demonstration?
