Umm, is that me sitting off the West coast of Tasmania? (Should be in
the SE corner - point would be centred slightly more than 1 marker
diameter further south, and slightly right of the marker that's in
Melbourne...)

What did I submit for longditude (given I submitted a different latitude
to what I typed above...)?

Just had a look at a higher resolution map...1:25,000 (rather than the
Readers Digest World Map) :-)
42deg 50min (about 30sec) S
147deg 17min (about 5sec) E

Or am I now being picky? (Don't get me wrong, looks great!)

Have Fun
Martin
