And the geographical extent of the 8 biomes is just as wrong. Texas definately isn't covered in Temperate Deciduous Forest, New York and New England not in Coniferous Forest, Argentina and southern Chile as well the the area around Cape Town aren't deserts, most of the Deccan Plateau and China not a Tropical Forest, and the list goes on.
What makes it more odd is that if you read the legend they actually mark a couple of surf sites in the Philippines - or rather they mark them in the middle of the South China Sea.
The TDF alonh the South American coast goes up too far north, from the Atacama onwards the desert is at the coast, most of the altiplano isn't.But it's like the map ignores mountain areas as a whole.
God, imagine the extent of the north polar caps in that map.

Well, technically the map never said the North Pole is at its top; so the north pole might just as well be located just above Canada or Scandinavia.
Though as both options would imply that either Canada or Scandinavia lies near the equator that does not improve things very much...
I'm seeing that Europe and Africa has been split and now Asia is in the middle between the North and South Americas and to Europe and Africa.
Someone needs to map out the climatological map resulting from the Great Lake. I want to know what it does to snowfall east and south of it.
