I'm confused. How can points that line along a line on a map
surface be a square in physical space coordinates? At least
if we mean by "physical space coordinates" a portion of the
sphere's surface.

The LIMIT keyword is suppose to delineate a portion of the
map surface to display, not an oblique slice through a
3D sphere.

Cheers,

David
