The missing 50 meters?

I've got a quick question:

Wazoo's famous manual targetting tutorial mentions that the ruler in the NavMap tools is actually off by 50 meters or so. As his site says:

Quote:

Setting the correct range requires a bit of estimating because when a number
on the ruler changes, let’s say from 1.6km as you extend the ruler to 1.7km,
you must subtract 50 meters. Thus 1.7km is NOT 1700m when it changes
from 1.6km, but is actually 1650m. An annoying little issue that I hope is
fixed in a future patch.

Has this since been fixed for SH3, or is it still a consideration?

Also, does this problem plague SH4, and (if so) to what degree?

Thanks!

I believe that is still there. But when you zoom in far enuf the line will show dots at regular intervals I use them for accuracy. Also I use small circles with a diameter of .1km when I get severel sigtings U make the track. The more time you take to get the track the better.

The 50 meter thing is still there and I don't think it can be fixed, otherwise it would have been.

DOn't know about Sh4
