Yes, I agree the whole map projection thing has not
been well thought out in the map function.

I do note, however, that it will be hard to convince
me to use anything but the map projection tools of
the Catalyst Library. MapCoord just seems to work
so simply and easily. Set up a map coordinate space,
and then just draw on it, in either lat/lon or projected
XY. All you have to do it tell it which you prefer.
It couldn't be any easier. :-)

Cheers,

David
