hey cool that you made progress but can you continue on the previous one or at least point to the previous thread?

> Hi I have a map of the UK and I’m trying to load data onto the map but the data file hasn’t got latitude or longitude coordinates for each place to enable me to get the precise location. Is there any way to do this another way?

not that I want to take the credit but it helps people to understand the context 🙂

This video shows how to map lat/lon to a map image. But this case it’s a world map so perhaps you need to rescale it somehow.
