> ... (when lat/lon is ambiguous sometimes). mmm, debatable. lat/lon always defines an exact point on the surface of the globe. What's breaking down is the projection of that globe being mapped onto a surface of larger area. That doesn't help you at all in itself, but it might trigger some thinking about alternative approaches to whatever it is you are trying to acheive ... * The pixels you're trying to locate at the corners represent imaginary spaces at low zooms, i.e. whether they ought to map to some arbritary lat/lon at all is debateable. * The "area" of the low-zoom display is meaningless in square miles, because part of it represents imaginary and/or duplicated areas; not sure if that's what your after. * Some pixels in the body represent the same unique lat/long twice or more, if the map is wrapped. * Wrapping is an artefact of the display technology and algorithms, it doesn't happen with paper maps. * Many hundred pixels in the body represent a single lat/long in the case of a pole, now that does happen on paper maps .... it's all getting a bit philosophical!
