Umm, I meant unknown land tiles next to known sea tiles.
Note that this excludes unknown tiles next to known land tiles, which is the 
problem with the goto knowing more than is visible on the map.
But as I mentioned in the other mail, the map drawing depends on the extra 
knowledge, so there is no very quick fix that will leave the drawing 
untouched.
