Washington DC not horizontal rendered #73

Hi, i was just trying to render Washington DC (38.89872,-77.03654).

Open street Maps Map of Washington shows me that all streets are horizontal East-West.

But when i render it, it looks like this: washington

Just a bit rotated.... I used following Notebook: Washington.pdf

Is there any explanation to that phenomena? Can i rotate the location but still render as a horizontal square?

Thanks

There seems to be a small tilt on the rendered images. When I declare a bounding box with a rectangle I get this result: zueichETH It is rotated slightly in the same direction as your map, you can see it at the border. Not sure what's causing this.
