I?ve been playing with the timezone map feature that has just been integrated into the slim_source gate and I?ve noticed that the map graphic has some geographic inaccuracies. It seems that everything is shifted too far south relative to the points drawn on the map. Examples:
- Oslo is out place( in the sea), as is Longyearbyen (should be on the southern tip of the island north of Norway. - singapore which is 1degree north of the equator should be at the very southern tip of malaysia. The dot appears well inside Malaysia. - The dot representing Tasmania is inland inside the Australian mainland. - Mawson, Casey, Davis, Dumont Stations etc. in the antartic should be dotted along the shore line of the Antartic landmass. Instead they are sitting out in the ocean. You can see where these points should be if you compare with the timezone applet from the gnome panel: Access it?s right click menu and select ?Adjust Date and Time? then hit the ?Select Time Zone...? button. It would seem that there are horizontal chunks of both the north and south polar regions missing, especially the south pole -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
