Why is solstheim directly north of Windhelm?

ShadowMonarch

So every game and map so far shows solstheim being north west of vvardenfell but on the eso map it is directly north of windhelm, which we know from skyrim should have more land to its north, but solstheim isn't is still north east of windhelm. On the eso map they are ALMOST TOUCHING. Why?

Im curious why the map from eso has so many weird faults that make it very different in land mass's then the maps from the elder scrolls games.

This thread has some maps that might help illustrate the differences.
