Thanks! I did find a suitable projection which not only look nice and coloury and a lot like the SH3 worl map but also makes the longitudes I'm reading at high latitudes make sense. It's an equirectangular projection

Here's a comparison between SH3 at E 60 N 80 (measuring the distances 80x120 km and 60x120 km from Equator and the GM median, also verified with the degree marks on the map) and Google map at the same coordinates

The lat/long positions I am reading are correct. I am now assuming it is the sun cycle itself that isn't correct for all positions. That would be a blow to my attempts of finding the sunrise/-set hours and perhaps the reason for all I know Ubi never mentioned these hours in SH3 but hid the almanac in that locker I can't open.
