Yeesh, hadn't realised how bad the original distortion on the Southern border of Switzerland was
@Klime (and I'd spotted something was off).
Have you been able to determine exactly where the limits of the distortions lie
@Klime?
Also Britain appears to be one pixel longer on the overlay than the coastline export from earlier.
The current overlays should be as accurate as is possible at this resolution regarding position. Any remaining errors are in the data itself.
It looks like the coastline data used to create the basemap was a bit lower quality than the height data itself (especially Greenland and the northern coasts) and may have been slightly distorted too.
In terms of the original overlay the distortions came from it not being exact, it needed manual positioning and was not rendered at any particular resolution in relation to the basemap
This meant that I had to effectively try and resize the overlays using reference points which wasn't really very reliable. Though it looked perfect, until I was trying to combine some into a complete overlay of Siberia and noticed that the reference points were making multiple images that were the same resolution into different resolution images.
And with the revelation that the coasts weren't all correct that means that the reference points were not all reliable in the first place.
Also make sure that you're using VT45's 3x2 tile maps to line up the tiles, If they won't load tell me and I'll send you some pre overlaid cutouts
Also make sure to use the water overlay for coastline adjustments, it's more accurate than the administrative one.
Separate question,
How should I depict the Nenets Autonomous Okrug,
It is apparently a Federal subject (first level) and has second and third level divisions,
but it is apparently also part of Archangelsk Oblast.
Should i depict it as a second level division of Archangelsk and offset it's divisions down a level,
should I depict it as just it's divisions within Archangelsk, or should I depict it as a separate first level division?
Edit:
The 8291 pixel boundary of the Komi republic has been redrawn and completed
It has an area of over 1100000 pixels
Searching for the 10 random missing pixels was not fun
