What about us poor people who have old maps where 0=zero?  What do you
suggest we do??  I am quite concerned that I am going to left with a large
number of maps that do not behave how I need them to any more.  I suggest
that with the introduction of such a radical change that it is fairly
irresponsible to leave some of us in the lurch.  At least provide a utility
to allow me to convert my old maps into the new format.  I don't think that
this is my job either since it is the software that has been changed, not
my data.
