The projection of the source maps on the default anatomy, is now done using the registered spheres (?h.sphere.reg) from the FreeSurfer folder. The improves dramatically the quality of the subject co-registration.
If you have been using the menu "Project sources" to calculate grand averages or statistics across subject, I recommend you read carefully the new coregistration tutorial:
