Something doesn't look quite right.  If the problem was as simple as reduced 
lat/lon resolution, I'd expect the output to be on a grid.  Instead, what I 
see is more like a grid that was also missing 1 out of N slots.  Where is 
that coming from?  How do I predict N?

I expect it's something like roundoff after the conversion from mm.mm to 
meters, or something like that.

Just to make sure we are on the same wavelength, this is the graph I'm 
looking at.
