Openmap displays the tip of South Head of Sydney Harbour on the VMAP
coastline at 33:51.734S 151:16.672E.
On the same Openmap display, the position of the DTED data corresponding
to the same point is 33:49.944S 151:16.876E (recognizing that the DTED
data is more detailed and so the corresponding points are approximate).
This equates to a difference of approximately 1.8 minutes South. An
independent check puts the equivalent DTED position at 33:50.102S
151:16.960E which confirms that the DTED position is correct. The VMAP
display was then checked using VPFview2.1 which located the same point at
33:50.412S 151:16.665E. This corresponds better with the DTED data and
confirms that the source VMAP data is correct.
This shows that Openmap is displaying the VMAP data with a displacement of
1.3 minutes South from the DTED data, which is a mix DTED Level 1 and
Level 0.

We are using OpenMap 4.6.5.

Any suggestions on how to get the images to align better?
