City of Stirling Location #12

Minor-est of low priority complaints, but hear me out :sweat_smile:

Why is Stirling almost directly above Glasgow? It should be slightly more to the right.

Let's compare it on OpenStreetMaps and Google Maps image image

Out of curiosity, where did you get the city coordinates from?

Hey - thanks for pointing this out. I've updated the deck now as suggested.

The positions I picked for the cities is based on the map on this Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_the_United_Kingdom

The actual position is determined by my manual approximation of mapping that onto my own map so I must have just misjudged the distances here. I'd like to be a bit more precise (e.g. base position in map on lat/long) and may look into re-working this in the future.

Thanks again!
