Furious is correct about this statement BenDover.
Try this calculator at the web site very cool!
http://164.214.12.145/calc/degree.htmlSo I would enter a latitude number that would be close to the center of the area you want ( North to South ) that would give you the center of your 512 mile terrain.
Example: If I wanted to make a 512 mile terrain around Nova Scotia, Canada and wanted to make the city of Halifax as my center position of my 512 X 512 terrain. I would use 45* Latitude, and enter that number in the Calculator.
Doesn't really matter that much anyway, your map wouldn't be that far off it you entered a Latitude number close to where you are taken a section from the world.
I have another site too that may be useful but I'll need to find it first.
I'll be soon getting back to working on using the mapmaker again and may even come up with a Help file. Had found some information that may be useful to people who want to use the program.
