If I recall correctly, DC's virtual world is based on the NOAA and USGS elevation databases. The virtual world is more accurate than the CIC map.. If you plot or place a unit at the real world long/lat coords (to 6 decimal places) that's where you will be in the DC virtual world.

Yes, my statement about the maps not being accurate is not true and incomplete. The maps are plenty accurate for sim play. I was thinking of the times I was practicing navigation thru coastal bays and channels and experienced some map "anomalies" and ran aground close to shore. Which is a minor note and not really an issue.
