Subject: [BoundaryPoint] Poor border mapping example and straight borders

Somebody once asked and got no answer: "Is there any straight line borders
in Europe?". And offcourse the answer is "yes".

For in between two points along a border a straight line is very common and
easy to find if you have two reference points and two markers in the nature.

Offcourse the asker meant "important" or "very long" straight lines like on
CAUS or EGLY. And then the answer is no, at least on international borders.

But does anybody know the longest straight line section of a European
border? Attached is my candidate, that also serve as an example of poor
mapping (in connection with my previous thread "Topomap: EELVRY".

Can anybody guess what border and what section this map is from?
