>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Because there are so many cars on the LA freeways at all times, this concentration of heavy metal tends to bend the Earth's magnetic field into a strange attractor over LA. It can drag all sorts of strange creatures into its vortex including, it appears, your map. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
spooky, a similar thing happens over here! I often find British National Grid data supplied by non-Mapinfo users miraculously 'shrinks' and relocates itself to the west of the Scilly Isles. after many years of geo research i put this down to some form of hitherto unknown magnetic/ gravity anomaly caused by some deep seated metallic ore deposit....I wonder how many other areas are affected by this magnetic phenomenon.?
