Etre Park Adventure

This map was created using a set of GPS points I gathered while exploring a park near my hometown.  Upon entering the coordinates I realized how important it is that Westerly coordinates be entered as (-)value.  When I first entered the coordinates my map showed up in Kyrgyzstan .  So two lessons came of this.  There is a country called Kyrgyzstan, and latitudes west of the prime meridean  are negative values.

In case the gadget below is giving you trouble (it seems to be finnicky on my computer) you can load the map by clicking here .
