It makes other troubles too, you cannot measure an AoB or any other angle from the map. (You can use the stock angle tool (think its called protractor) but not the protractor disks -- angles will be off if not playing in 4:3

I've been wondering about that since realizing there is some map distortion. Not that I've tested it thoroughly, the other night I did some comparisons versus known steered compass courses and "set course to view" via uzo. Steering 315 deg, I was getting a measured map course of 314 (or was it 316 but at any rate 1 deg off). I'm thinking this would be the largest distortion (and thus same of crse on 045, 135 and 225 deg). Depending on target range (and there's some distance distortion also), maybe it's not that significant. But I haven't really tested it out.
