Squashed Nav Map

[Stargazer]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me why the nav map is squashed down vertically? All the icons appear as squares and circles so the resolution is fine, but the land masses all look like I've sat on them at some point.

Is this a crude attemp to make it look like you're standing at a table looking at it from an ange?

Is it an attempt to make more of the world fit on a sheet of paper? (despite the navigation screen isn't really on a table, nor is it a sheet of paper so therefore is daft.

Or is it something else?

Rob.
