Man, are those people packed into Great Britain, or what?

Vadim, good thing you are there, or we would have a huge gap in Asia.
See, you were meant to work on this project.

And I'm sure Peter Mount isn't placed right since I haven't
found Maidstone on my map's, nor on any lat/long source in
the internet. Where should that dot sit really?

Yepp - after all I was really surprised how widely we are
spread out.

But there are some bad, bad, big gaps. South-America, Africa
and Australia.

Yes, we need to work on that. I am surprised too how spread out we are.

Ask and you shall receive:

Maidstone: 51.17N, 0.32 E

There is also a political/neighborhood of the same name listed at:

Maidstone: 51.17N, 0.35 E

Of course, both would appear in the same spot on our map.

Maidstone is about 25 miles south east of London.

According to my GPS:

N 51'13.422' E000'34.168'

When I looked, it looked ok.
