This is what Gregory C.Mcintosh - who's just written a book on the subject - wrote (final URL above):
"Hapgood made many specific claims about amazing similarities between coastlines on certain old maps and modern coastlines. His arguments and conclusions have been repeated by many other writers (and scholars). Yet, when we look at his arguments in detail and examine the original maps he used, both old and modern, we find that he altered the data, that is, changed the depictions on the old maps to match his theories. It is not too difficult to make a coastline on a old map match another coastline on a modern map if one is allowed to move, change, resize, and reorient the coastline any way one wants. Orthodox scholars are not ignoring the uncomfortable conclusions Hapgood reached; they are ignoring the slipshod methods he used to arrive at these conclusions."
