Here's a point worth noting...
This appears to be some kind of cylindrical projection, and such
projections distort distances at extreme lattitudes. So it's probably
"harder" to accurately hit a place that's near the equator, because it's
scaled smaller.

is. ;-)

Reminds me of a Brit filling out the passport paperwork to visit Sydney,
and he gets to the line asking if you've ever been convicted of a
felony, and he asks "Hey, is that still required?"

Helpful housekeeping hints:
Check your feather pillows for holes
before putting them in the washing machine.
