We can close the thread now.
Scotland is directly above England and so anything that is 'almost above of' England would be nearer to Scotland.
And using left for West is cute - I think it's safe to say that global orienteering is not your forte here zaper.
This isn't to belittle you or the theory of things moving about - just talking about having a good use of landmasses as landmarks and giving directions from them to others as an indicator of cartography.

I want to remind you that this is just my perception of what I believed happen, So please keep the Trolling to a minimum.
Here we go:
1)Antartica just got huge beyond belief-Size changes a bit due to ice formation, some maps cut it off, but it's the same
2)The pacific ocean shrank-Looks the same
3) the Aluetian Island of the Coast of Alaska are no longer leading to the tip of Russia-never did on any map I've seen
4)Australia Moved up- Same place
4)New Zealand Flipped around and was NE of Australia-It was SE when I went there and it still is
5) The Bahama Island have been displaced, Florida did not have these islands of their East Coast-Yes they did, numerous crusises over the past 20 years and lived on Paradise Island for a couple years.
6) North Atlantic and South Atlantic Oceans got smaller, North and South America are now Closer to Africa and Europe. -The distance is the same within inches.
7) South America looks like a wave pushed it -Where exactly?
8) the Falkland Island moved down from where they were or South America moved up.-No difference
9) Puerto Rico moved.-Nope gps on boat still charts the same
10) England moved closer to France and shifted.-Google Earth says no.
11) Greenland is way to close to Canada, it was never that close.-Yeah it was, that's how Eric the red got there
12) The Pacific Ocean Island looked squished as does Indoneasia and New Guinea-Maybe the map your viewing?
13) Africa moved up and the Meditteranian got smaller-Nope
14) Sweden and Norway looked as if they shifted down-Again maybe the map or your memory is faulty
15) Denmark was never that close to Sweden and Norway-WHen I was there it was
16) A chain of Islands that were never by Antartica and South America, looked like water bashed right through.-Antartica crusie, no difference
17) Cant confirm this one but wasn't Sri Lanka on the other side (Anyone varify)-No, unless your map is jacked up
18) Long Island is now really close to New York-It was never that far to begin with
19) Japan is smaller and not as streched out.-Depends what map you look at
From my perception... I really think the timeline is going back in time...

Some new things i've noticed:
- Alaska is HUGE. I dont remember alaska being so big, ever. It seems like its almost half the size of the U.S.
- Mexico has a random spike at the bottom that curves towards the bahamas. i remember it just trailing down towards south america. I dont remember that spike upwards.

this is mine, its pretty weird.
The mexico gulf is more tall, Florida is outer to the east too, it wasnt pointing to the middle of cuba before, it was pointing like to one of the extremes of the island
Cuba is more long in size and more close to the continent (down to north) its strange! it was more short
Groenland has a different shape
The whole american continent is more slim than i can remember
I dont remember Hawai being in the middle of nothing ?¡?
Iceland is...
oh and...
I saw that Hawaii is not where it usually was located but ... snow in hawaii? since when?
I just am noticing a few weeks ago, Its is too much coincidence and frequency.
