Talk:Svalbard Rocket Range

map added so other editors can see the error
I've added the map into the article, even though it is erroneous. Let's leave it here for awhile. I'll try to see if any other editors know how to fix it. If a week goes by with no fix, we can remove it then. --Noleander (talk) 21:35, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
 * The issue with the Locator map is: It is drawing the red dot in the wrong place: it should be on the island of Svalbard (which ranges 77 to 80 degrees north), but insteand the red dot is appearing north of the island, around 82 or 83 degrees north.   It looks like the arithmetic to convert the lat/long to a pixel coordinate in the image is not doing its trigonometry correct. --Noleander (talk) 22:00, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, I've added a second map of Svalberg (island drawn green) as a temporary placeholder until the issue is fixed. --Noleander (talk) 22:00, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
 * The correct latitude is 78 deg north; but using that causes the red dot to be drawn too far north. Changning the latitude to the incorrect value of 74 deg north causes the red dot to appear in the correct location on the map. --Noleander (talk) 22:16, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
 * User plasticspork has fixed the problem. Apparently an IP editor mistakenly changed the image in Sept 2012 to the incorrect image. --Noleander (talk) 22:32, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
