Any apparent discrepancy between the location of the dots for the centers of each island and the outlines on the map are due to a discrepancy between the vector and imagery layers used by Google (see further the metadata document for these locations). This discrepancy has been reported to Google. When Google's data is fixed, these locations should be revisited, or they may be verified by other means (e.g., on-site GPS readings by other contributors).
