ha!

to me it looks like on some of the zoom levels the tiles are wrong
(i.e. dives jumping to the bigger island).
sadly, it's out of my control as we don't have an API to magically fix
this. the only thing we can do is report a bug...
...and perhaps start thinking about a google maps provider.

tomaz, suggested a plugin for this, but it introduces more
dependencies and third party code not maintained by Qt.
