The code, however, is incomplete, and it says so both on the source and the documentation.  And it's based on an incorrect assumption, that needs to be fixed. 

It would be rather considerate of you if you did not
muck up where the poles are (45 degrees) as other maps
(esp maps I have made) take into account where the
weather is).

 I'm sorry, but the maps are wrong to take that into account, when the code clearly says it's incomplete.

I for one do appreciate your effort.  But we can't keep broken code around just because fixing it would mean you don't have to update your maps.  If you really want to contribute, that means adding new things, but occasionally it also means modifying your existing things to cope with improvements to the game - that's what is called "maintaining".

Moving the Antarctic would probably make it a better map - further away from the inhabited continent, where it makes sense, specially when ships are introduced and you can sail the ocean.  You'd even be able to make it bigger.  Heck, make a whole small continent, why not?
