Hi Mark- > > The problem is that your latitudes change direction at the 52 point: > I am guessing you meant longitude. No, I meant latitude (second number).

I understand the crossing of the prime meridian - it's the change in latitude direction that I don't understand. Perhaps he picture will make it clearer. > I am not certain as to why one would expect the longitude direction to > change at the 103 point. Well, not change direction so much as start over at the first longitude again. Same with latitude.
