Why some cities are so badly placed on the geoscape map?


Recommended Posts

New York's in a pretty interesting place on that map, Gauddlike.

To be honest, I'd prefer it if people just gave us corrections on some of the most obviously wrong city placements. There's bound to be a few typos in the co-ords I typed in, such as there is with Paris.

That's what happens when you rely on third parties for coordinates.

When I get around to adding my own locations I will pick them up myself from google maps.

Just right click the location you want to add and click 'what's here' for the coordinates, although they will need converting to the format Lt_Parsons has used for the web tool.

It displays lat and long rather than degrees and minutes.

I am sure with an easy way to find the location people will start giving feedback on any errors they notice.

I was more interested in this as a tool for people to easily mod in their own locations but it works equally well for both.
