Since the starting coordinates already match the starting map, there is no
need to do any initial fitting of the map to the coordinates. Certainly, you
should experiment with both options to see if there are differences.

A small fcons value is usually required; another key parameter is the
resolution of the (pseudo-)map. This will help determine how "rigid" the
domains are -- a lower resolution (numerically higher number) will allow
somewhat more movement within each domain.
