I strongly suspect that the "center of the world" directly depends on the country which produced the map. It least I know that Russian maps put Russia in the center (which is relatively easy since it is very large anyway), while U.S. maps are centered on American continent. So I think Greame uses African maps ;-) -- Alexander S.
