Map shift in some area
#1
I found there are a shift between the maps in some area such as Taiwan, Japan.
Here is an sample gpx file that shows the shift.
https://developer.garmin.com/downloads/c...e_file.gpx
 
You can find this issue by loading the sample file, and then switch between 'Map' and 'OpenStreetMap.'
   
   

Any idea?

I did a verification by adding a point on the map in RouteConverter, and switch to OpenCycleMap, there is a shift.
Then I check that point on Google map on the browser, the location on the google map is same as its location on OpenCycleMap.
I think that means that RouteConverter makes a shift when displaying google map in it.
Is it possible anyway to fix it?
Thanks!

After checking more options in RouteConverter, I found there is an option can correct it.
Go options -> map -> fix map for China -> No
Then all maps are match.
