Hi Bret,
Thanks for your posting and interesting correction to the map.
However: do get out your globe again! If in your imagination you face
the southern pole, you'll then see that the sun arises on your _Left_!
That's why the hour numbers on dials in the Southern Hemisphere run
counter/anti-clockwise (now we're back on topic!!).
best wishes,
Peter

These corrective maps are still wrong.
They need to be flopped as well, so the sun rises on the right as we all
know it does. ;)
Hopefully you can view my attached pdfs.

Hello again;
For fun I removed my globe from its' frame and re-inserted
it upside
down. Now Antarctica is at the top.
