Hey thanks for adding the map [[User:Benjw|Benjw]], but something is really odd -- the coordinates at the bottom are correct (or at least they're the same as those given by the Small Hash Inquiry Tool, which I was proceeding from) but the red Google marker thing on the map is clearly not anywhere near those coordinates! Do you know what's up? I don't know anything about how the automagic maps work myself... -- [[User:OtherJack|OtherJack]] 18:18, 4 September 2012 (EDT) | Hey thanks for adding the map [[User:Benjw|Benjw]], but something is really odd -- the coordinates at the bottom are correct (or at least they're the same as those given by the Small Hash Inquiry Tool, which I was proceeding from) but the red Google marker thing on the map is clearly not anywhere near those coordinates!

Hey thanks for adding the map Benjw, but something is really odd -- the coordinates at the bottom are correct (or at least they're the same as those given by the Small Hash Inquiry Tool, which I was proceeding from) but the red Google marker thing on the map is clearly not anywhere near those coordinates!

- Hmm. The map marker is pointing to the hashpoint for that graticule, and not to the globalhash. I'm not sure why. Will investigate. — Benjw {talk} 18:26, 4 September 2012 (EDT)
- Have investigated. The pin's location is set by the bit of code that displays the map, and is always the graticule hashpoint for the latitude and longitude given. Unfortunately it cannot be changed on the wiki. However, it has reminded me that one of the things I was intending to sort out was the behind-the-scenes code for the mapping gizmo, so I will get onto that soon. For now, I've added a note to the global map template saying that the pin is in the wrong place, and a couple of links to maps which will show the correct location. — Benjw {talk} 18:56, 4 September 2012 (EDT)
