problem with microdem "set Map pixel size"
#14

I had to rescale my extracted map to fit the Olegworld dimensions. I scaled it using the vertical plane but it is only accurate in the north-south plane since that is what I used. East - west my map is off a good 10 percent. The only way around this would be to compress the east-west dimension as close as possible but I figure this would adversely effect the elevation profile for the "h" map. When I overlay satellite or other maps I have to stretch them out (east-west) to fit on the SRTM maps as well so those maps are also "flattened" to compensate for the earths curvature into 2D. This so the lat.-long. grids are not curved on paper.

I guess a map maker would have to decide which plane they want to size the map accurately depending on which way the most traveling will take place or the shape/size of the map.
