I can't tell if the map projections are that realistic from the game.

If you are going to calculate distances, DON'T use GE. GE calculates distances taking into account earth's curvature. In SH earth is flat and the poles extend from the left edge of the map to the right. The "shortest routes", in GE, have no meaning whatsoever in SH.
