So I think it *is* an overlay issue that does not take into account
different user settings ?


Something along those lines. Take a peek at

http://www.bbc.co.uk/cumbria/weather...st/index.shtml

I normally run with a minimum font size so I don't have to strain
reading 6pt high characters. My normal setting puts the dot denoting
Berwick (a and East coast town) right in the middle of the country...

If I turn off the minimum font size, the dot marking the place moves
to the other end of the name but it's still not on the coast place and
Edinburgh appears to be in the Firth of Forth.

What ever it is broken and always has been. I told 'em about Berwick
not long after the launch. The site devlopers have obviously taken the
money and run...
