    Help Map Distortion - Worldographer

    Hi guys,

    I recently picked up Worldographer/Hexographer II and it's going pretty well, for the most part...

    I'm using the trace underlay function for an older map that was penned and scanned. I can import the image just fine however I'm having issues with fitting the map to grid. As you may know, you unfortunately can't import an image in it's native resolution (At least I don't believe you can) but rather have to set it's dimensions in hexes.

    The image itself is 4422 x 3120 p with the hexes the standard 46.18 x 40 p, columns line up. The map is 4 pixels to a mile and I'd like to do 10 mile hexes. I'm not sure really sure what exactly is going on, mathematically the lengths and widths of the hex grid and image match up but visually it's looking rather distorted, more like a square than the rectangle it should be, and leaving my continent looking rather smushed. Hopefully the attached images of Worldographer and the original map help. Any advice?

    Thanks.
