Re: Paper orientation

James,

I'm not an expert at this and am just speculating, but I wonder if the definitions of mpRightCorner[Lat|Lon]F are in conflict with Landscape, and this somehow yields what you're seeing. What happens if you set those as Lat2d(862,692), or what if you leave those resources out?

FWIW...
