Hello! I have huge problems with CMANO coastlines and GMAP overlay. Help!

I think that this is some problem with map projections.

The left upper corner of the overlay are real world data. The 3 other corners are roughly calculated. The further away the corner the greater the inaccuracies.

In a 500meter x 500meter overlay all corners fit pretty well.
In a 5000miles x 5000miles overlay only the left upper corner fits well.

So, are there any consequences for the playability of the game? Or do you have to steer your ships over Cuba to avoid running aground on Florida?

No, these are purely cosmetic.

This happens with most map services other than ArcGIS. For the time being use ArcGIS in GMAP for overlays that big, it aligns correctly in CMANO. Would reccommend maximum zoom level 7 for this size. Don�t try to create a overlay for the complete earth, it misaligns.
