Yes I've been reading about cartography all night. The map is basically a cool looking dotted map traced out by a freelance designer I had hired. It's part of our requirements and I got handed the job of adding functionality to it.
>From what i was able to gather, it most closely resembles a Miller Cylindrical projection, the placement of the central meridian is an exception though. But I can offset the x values to make up for it. So any idea what's the conversion function for the miller cylindrical projection? I'm developing in ActionScript 3 but you can hand me any code, I can port it to AS3.
