12 objects on Earth · No coastline dataset is held in this repository and none can be fetched here. A hand-drawn outline would be invented geometry sitting next to sourced coordinates at the same visual weight, so the map shows the graticule and the points, and names each place beside it.
The places on Earth12
point
— A surveyed position. The mark is where the thing is.
soft
— A curatorial choice within a larger extent. The mark is near, not at.
waypoint
— A stop on a route. A single point does not describe it.
Not on this map

6 produced objects have no coordinate at all. A programme, a treaty, a vessel under way and an idea are not places, and none of them is given a position here to fill the screen. See how they relate instead →
