Yes, that's exactly how I meant it... sorry for the confusion, I thought it
was obvious.

OK I'll shut up and go back to my designing...

Where?  I grew up just ten miles the other side of that line.  I now
live a tad further south, in Fort Wayne.  By the way, that doesn't
show up so well on the map.  I know we're not THAT far south.
41 degrees, 9 minutes north, 85 degrees, 9 minutes west.

I have a Union address, but don't actually live IN Union. And Union is
small, probably be better to look for Elkhart, IN.

What about Alaska, it only has one that wants to show themselves.

Well I'm pretty close to J.W. - if I could but figure out what my
co-ordinates are.

I see that you did. Thanks for finding them (the lat/lon).

Yep, and very near the edge of the globe as shown in the map too. I tend to think of
the
New Zealanders when I see you way out there.
Thanks for sending your lat/lon btw, I had used Anchorages' itself before now.

Thanks Matthew, I've known of the oddity about those British Isles for some time now,
like since I used this latest Earth image, which is the strange thing about it. I
couldn't use the image as is when I first applied it, way off from what the supposed
mathematically correct latitudes and longitudes were showing. So there has been some
additional area (over ocean) added to improve upon the original. I don't know why
there
was ever any problem at all since I had thought the Earth image was a direct
representation of the real globe. Anyhow, all else appears to be aligning fairly well,
but England? It's like a terrible earthquake has shifted it toward the continent. I
haven't a good fix for this yet, I hate to think the coordinate numbers need a
subtraction by more than a degree and even worse the prospect of cut & pasting Great
Britain. Not a thing I like to do, playing god.
On this subject, anyone else seeing a significant shift in their map positions from
the
real?

That would be a great thing, yes. The fact of overlapping dots as you pointed out
would
prevent a simple way to do that however, and I'm into simplistic things. The other
aspect is the resubmission concept which I don't see happening, but not altogether out
of the question. Same for the idea of sending the whole setup out to others, just that
why would two of these make sense seeing as how they would only begin to diverge with
any continuation of people joining in to separate maps.
Consider yourself added to the "inhabitants", complete with another dot on top of the
existing Berlin one.
