   Further stuff :   
      
   I just thought of drawing latitude lines spaced 10 degrees apart on the   
   image I provided, and ran into other problems :   
      
   I had to multiply the formules result by two to get anywhere near a usable   
   value.   
      
   The 10 degree line was drawn below the first line in the image above the   
   equator.  Same for the 20 degree line.  Only the 30 and 60 degree lines   
   landed on a line on the image itself (the second and fourth above the   
   equator).   
      
   Though the 40 degree line now comes rather close to where I expected New   
   York to be (which is at 39 degrees latitude), there is no line in the image   
   near it.  Huh?   
      
   I don't get it, what are those lines on the image for if not latitudes ? But   
   than again, why are there only 5 lines above the equator in the image, and   
   not 7 ?
