Chris Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gauddlike Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt_Parsons Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 I think i can add some minimal google maps integration to show what actually there at the coordinates, maybe more if i'll be able to work with google maps api. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safe-Keeper Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Yeah, it's prob not a good idea to put Frenchies in Germany. Yeah, it's meant to be the other way 'round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StellarRat Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Yeah, it's meant to be the other way 'round. The French are used to German visitors that stay for four years or so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt_Parsons Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Updated geo tool again, now with more google maps - link (still the same one). Should i make separate thread for this thing in modding section? I kinda hijacked this one by accident with all the updates.

Nibelung44 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Thanks for the fixing, in any case, much appreciated when you see your own city is thousands kms away from what it should be, it broke a bit immersion (just a teeeny bit!) Should we add more cities? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt_Parsons Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Chris included Paris placement fix in new update, changelog is here. As for new cities - yes, if you want to. That what i updated geo tool for, to make placement of new cities easier. Edited April 30, 2014 by Lt_Parsons typos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max_Caine Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 We should all add more cities, because Lt Parsons' tools are super keen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
