and finds its main use only in thematic mapping) and not a Mercator projection.
This has nothing to do ,of course,with gwx or any other supermod but with the sh3's engine itself, i believe that sh3 is 'following' the Equirectangular projection distortions |
Hi!
Yes, you're correct. It's obviously been longer than I thought since I worked on GWX.
