As some of you may know, I'm trying to get an update of the Celestia Plug-in for Safehold done prior to Manticon 2017. I've added a moon, and the ISS as a substitute for the Orbital Bombardment Platform. I also have a collage of maps that are the best I can do for an updated Texture file.

What I'm on now is a collection of pre-saved locations with Latitudes and Longitudes pointing to locations on the Texture/Map.

If you'd be willing to share some of your time, please look at the below. It's my "1.0 draft" of locations to save. Please share your own "top-ten" or "top-ninety" locations you'd like to see saved, whose position I have not already inferred.

What location are you using for 0 longitude, my guess would be Zion.

I'm not bothering with copying and pasting David Weber's original map just in order to trick Celestia into producing a zero on Zion.

If I did that, I'd have to have done the same thing on all five of the close-up maps, plus any future maps that DW might ever release.

So, whatever the Texture file results in is/are the numbers that I use.
