[Xastir] Map rendering anomaly?

[Rick Green]

This morning, I found myself zooming out so I could identify a point on 
the other side of the world.  (xastir is so much more convenient than my 
old world atlas!)
   When I zoomed out, however, I found that the tigermap.geo data was quite 
distorted when overlayed with the flat mercator projection of worldhi.map

See screenshot.  This is xastir 1.9.0 with tigermap.geo, overlayed with 
USRadar.geo, overlayed with worldhi.map.
   At more reasonable zoom levels(~750), the tigermap.geo appears to 
correspond more closely to reality.

   If anyone's interested, watch N8BJX-1 this afternoon from about 1PM 
until 6PM.  I'm flying a pockettracker in a Standard Cirrus '53' on the 
final task of the Region 6 North Sailplane contest out of Ionia, Michigan.
Despite the low power output, plenty of packets made it to the APRS-IS 
during yesterday's task, so I changed the config a bit today to beacon a 
little less often...
