Yes.

Sure, distances are not right, and land masses are stretched out, but there is no way we can squeeze a spherical world into a cylindrical one. The one thing we would achieve, is moving around islands, ports, straits, landmarks and other geographical features in unpredictable ways  |
You didn't understand me.
I mean the
picture of the SH3 scale, in photoshop or paint.net : for each meter of depth, and thanks to the scale i've posted, we add the correct grey used by SH3 (Terrain Editor). Then, we get a real depth map (heightmap for example), we create the depth color scale used by it, and put this scale just above the grey SH3 scale. And then, for each SH3 depth intervall (one unique grey color), we select all the colors from the real depth map scale, and convert them into the correct grey. Easy !
But maybe i'm not clear enough...
