(the file is here:- http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~ventus45/ ... le-one.sty)

I then made a map which is here:-
http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~ventus45/ ... /Test1.bmp
http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~ventus45/ ... /Test1.dmf

So far so good.

I then zoomed out with the magnifying glass once, and the result was fine, but I then zoomed out once more (ie, second time), and the result was again OK, and agin on the third zoom, but on the fourth zoom, all the latitude and longitude lines go haywire, see here:-

Can you fix that Tim ?
