[Kstars-devel] Compass directions and Kstars 2.0.0

[Antti J. Huhtala]

Hi Rafal and Jerome,

I can't really say about other distros because I've only got Kstars
installed in Fedora. I seem to recall that this problem was there in
Fedora 14, too, but not in earlier Fedora distros. That may be because
somewhere along the line the default projection changed to gnomonic.

After Jerome's post I tried other projections and, indeed, all other
projections in the list seem to display compass directions correctly.
My location is Helsinki, Finland, but that probably has little relevance
in this case. It would look like the problem is in gnomonic projection
code...

BR, Antti
