According to the blurb that came with this picture:

"The path of totality has been plotted via custom software onto maps using a simple equidistant cylindrical projection scaled for the central latitude of each map. They all use high resolution coastline data from the World Data Base II (WDB) and World Vector Shoreline (WVS) data. These maps were chosen to isolate small regions along the land portion of the eclipse path. Curves of maximum eclipse and constant eclipse magnitude are included as well as the outline of the umbral shadow. A special feature of these maps are the curves of constant umbral eclipse duration (i.e., totality) which are plotted within the path. These curves permit fast determination of approximate durations without consulting any tables. Furthermore, city data from a recently enlarged geographic data base of over 90,000 positions are plotted to give as many locations as possible in the path of totality".

Cool....but don't these arseholes know that Germany has been re-unified for years and that the Czech and Slovak Republics separated at midnight on December 31, 1992?? Look closely, and you'll see that these "accurate", "scientific" maps refer to Czechoslovakia, the Berlin "Control Zone", the German Democratic Republic and Karl Marx Stadt..none of which exist in 1999!
