I agree. There is no secret as to the latitude and longitude coordinates of various points throughout the world.
To think that geodetic data would be 'secret' would be silly... there are many grid coverages available at many sites throughout the Internet. -----Original Message----- From: B.

This is the sort of hyperbolic paranoia that causes public data providers to jerk their data off the web, foiling few terrorists, but really impeding legitimate GIS work. I agree we need to be careful about what sort of data is made available as easily as possible, but if we look at every coordinate as the cross-hairs of a bomb sight, then we invite the world to paint ALL GIS developers with the terrorist brush. Let's keep a sense of proportion in the risk / information factor. - Bill Thoen On Tue, 14 Jan 2003, Kathy Tang wrote: > ARE YOU KIDDING!!! > > With the state of the world these days, this e-mail request should be going > to the FBI, NSA, CIA, whoever is responsible. > Don't anyone answer this....... > > -----Original Message----- > From: Alex Eshed [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, January 14, 2003 5:07 AM > To: MapInfo-L (E-mail) > Subject: MI-L Attention NYC residents > > > Greetings List, > > A customer would like to verify Lat/Long coordinates within New York City. > > Could anyone provide me with three or four points within NYC (a street > intersection, Times Square, or any other recognizable landmark) - name, > Latitude, Longitude - at the highest precision possible?
