    sorry, that's not what I meant. I mean I should have all the numbers right.

    the original map was 10 000 by 5 000. Meaning that every pixel represent 4 km since Earth is more or less 40 000 km at the equator.
    the file from G projection is 3 000 by 1500 because that is as high as I could get. Otherwise it crashes.
    so it's 13,33 times smaller or 13,33*13,33 ...
    but when I calculated the area I got 628 million sq km instead of 510, that's what I was saying. And I don't understand if it's normal since it's supposed to be more or less about the same size. It's either the fault of the projection and I need to divide it by 1,23 (but Hammer projection gives the same results) or I made a mistake somewhere.



    EDIT: I started the elevation map and I realized that I might have too much highlands. If you play around with this you might bet a good idea for the 1 or 2 first levels of elevation : http://www.floodmap.net/
    The way I see it, the elevations are:

    Low=0-500m
    Medium= 500-1000m
    Med high= 1000-2000m
    High=2000-4000m
    Very high= 4000+
