Yep, the crosses are for cube mapping. Look also here:

well heres the thing, I apply the cross map to a cube and render it out.. the thing is that the entire cross appears on only one side of the cube.. im curious to know how to map it so each side of the cube gets the proper piece of the cross..

ANYONE ... PLEEEEZE:D

A spherical map is disadvantageous if used for reflection purposes. Near the poles the map's vertical resultion increases while near the equator it decreases.
This may lead to artifacts (too much/less sharpness) at render time.

A cubic environment map has a more isotropic distribution of samples.
For HDR lighting purposes the difference doesn't matter that much though.

Tierackk: You may need to uvwunwrap a box to get it to properly fit the hdri image, because you need to stretch the image over the whole cube.

Try applying a uvwmap and set it to box/cube mapping, otherwise you will need to uvwunwrap it and manually orientate the faces
