The latitude of the specified geo center is ignored for cylindrical projections, which are always aligned with the poles:

The center longitude takes effect for cylindrical projections:

The center latitude and longitude take effect for non-cylindrical projections:

The geo center of a map is not the same as the latitude and longitude defining the "Centering" of the projection:

Attempting to use an entity class as a geo center ignores the specification and gives a message:
