The Poland thing is pretty minor in comparison to cutting the entirely of Asia in half instead of splitting one of the massive oceans. Did they just want to put the Americas in the middle?
US centric maps are a thing, because you know, murrica number one
I think that map centered on the area you selected.
That was only true for Windows 95 and 98 (likely ME as well, but I don’t know). As of Windows 2000 and later, the map is fixed in place and for whatever reason (probably inconvenient to update), they dropped the click on the map to select time zone feature, which was also the feature that centered the selected time zone.
Technically Al Gore discovered Poland in the late 90s but cartographers were still catching up.
