Ascension island!

Damn you SeaSide! - I spent half the bloody night looking for it!

(Excuse my ignorance but what did you mean by "major communications hub"?)

(EDIT: I've just Googled it re communication - interesting!)

Wishbone Ash · 14-09-2007 11:00am

What about this?

SeaSide · 14-09-2007 5:06pm

You really really need to travel more.

Yes (St Ita's Hospital).

SeaSide - how do you remove the text/blue dots from the image?

I remove the co-ordinates/logo by cropping the image but I don't seem to be able to remove the text. Painting over them or erasing them manually looks clumsy.

SeaSide · 14-09-2007 7:18pm

View -> Status bar (to remove coords.)

View -> sidebar (if you dont have it up) then select or deselect under Layers

Waterville, Co Kerry?

I have a couple that might test you. They are both in Europe.

Pherekydes · 15-09-2007 2:17am

Number 2 is Lisbon.

Totally stumped on the other one.

OK, I'll go international this time with an Asia city centre (clue: 'West of Ireland').

SeaSide · 15-09-2007 9:51am

New Delhi

but explain the "west of Ireland"

SeaSide · 15-09-2007 10:00am

The clue is "two zeroes - one is absolute the other nominal"

Pherekydes · 15-09-2007 10:41am

The intersection of the prime meridian and the equator.

Have to go, can't post a follow-up. Somebody else go.

Well done - re clue: the series of circles at the centre of New Delhi is known as Connaught Place.

(Very disorientating to walk around as it's difficult to know which circle one is in and is what direction one is travelling!

)

A capital city which seems to have developed around it's airport! :eek:

La Paz. Finally! I seem to have inspected every single capital on the planet. La Paz was my very last attempt.

Next one attached.

P.S. I hope it's as hard. :evil:
