[Question] source for geotag coordinates? #89

Closed HannimalCrackers closed 5 years ago

HannimalCrackers commented 5 years ago

Hi @goldieshen

I'm doing some work mapping locations and I have a couple of questions.

(1) there are some locations I'd like to add/edit. So that I can be consistent, what is the source of the latitude and longitude coordinates you used?

(2) sometimes appears with an accompanying tag, sometimes appears without a tag. Is there a structural logic I should be following that drives when the tag does and doesn't appear?

Thank you! Hannah

Dear Hannah,

For the longitude and latitudes, I went through the book and input the names on online sites like this: https://www.latlong.net/ I don’t remember the exact sites I used, but this is probably the one I used.

For tags, I don’t remember what I used them for, but I tagged locations in the book to which the protagonist both physically travelled and merely alluded (faraway continents, etc.). Perhaps the tags clarify whether the location is actually part of the trajectory of the book or whether it is just part of the book’s consciousness/scope.

Good luck on the project, Hannah! If you feel like tags are confusing, you can reorganize them. Feel free to edit anything, and thank you!

Best wishes, Goldie
