not on a world map which is centered at the prime meridian. The
Pacific is split into two halves and looks smaller.
There's also a whole lot of other cartographic issues... Greenland on a
Mercator projection is the notorious one.
To keep this moderately time-nuts related, that's actually how I got
started on precision timing.. I was looking at generating map
projections, which got me into surveying and cadastral stuff, which got
me into precision GPS measurements.
