well, the map is flat more or less at closer zoom levels, so the general problem seems to be purely about lossy compression.
- kobeya 9y ago...what? I don’t understand. It’s accurate at “close zoom” because the limit as you scale in to the surface of a sphere is a flat surface. I’m not sure what compression of any sort has to do with this.
