Thanks, it's cool to see the map on a globe. I actually cut off the poles at 80 degrees, even though the shape of the map suggests otherwise. I'll alter the shape of the map to go to the poles, and see if the pinching improves.
I tried to be realistic with climate. Obviously, not all planets have to have earth-like specs but significantly altering temperature, axis tilt, etc. has far-reaching consequences, so I decided to stick with something easy for now.
