The goto knows the type of tiles adjacent to tiles you can see. It does not 
know anything else.
So you shouldn't be able to discover new continent with it.
This is the 4th such bug report I have gotten that claimed you could explore 
the whole map with the goto line... The 3 others turned out to be false 
alarms :)

(note: rather a bug report too much than one too little)
