I was comparing the FT output with a sample Google Maps output.

Thank you so much! I was finding the 600mile square really daunting. I'd rather we stick to whatever accuracy we can keep.

There is some shape distortion in a conformal and/or equidistant projection compared to the original base map, meaining that things don't look as you might expect when comparing the maps to the globe. Ah well, write it off as measurement error and/or systematic cartographic bias (which is what it truly is).
