That's what I figure the reason was. Cantr always tries to do something different.

I believe this has been explained some time, but I can't quite remember what it was. I think it was something about a sinus function that has been used instead of a cosinus function (or the other way round) when directions were calculated from the co-ordinates of the locations.

What?
Edit: Oh, I think I see what you're saying. However, a protractor doesn't have to be held horizontally. Or even be a semicircle.
