Could a cartographer join wikipedia?

Why isn't there a map of the thirtieth parallel with names on it? I click on the map and the red dots disappear, yet they're too big and the map to small to see where they are at thumbnail size. Why take up any bandwidth with a totally useless and pointless joke? --IP69.226.103.13 | Talk about me. 03:27, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not quite sure how to respond to this. It's a map of the world (which is what you get when you click on it) with the dots automatically placed on it by code in a template. It's only intended as an overview - if you're still not satisfied, then I suggest you buy an atlas. I know it's not perfect, but (in the absence of 180 ready-made latitude maps, and 360 ready-made longitude maps) it's the best that can be done. Feel free to replace it with a better map if you have one. Bazonka (talk) 12:12, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
