Man, are those people packed into Great Britain, or what?

Vadim, good thing you are there, or we would have a huge gap in Asia. 
See, you were meant to work on this project.

    And  I'm  sure Peter Mount isn't placed right since I haven't
    found Maidstone on my map's, nor on any  lat/long  source  in
    the internet. Where should that dot sit really?

    Yepp  -  after  all  I was really surprised how widely we are
    spread out.

    But there are some bad, bad, big gaps. South-America,  Africa
    and Australia.

Yes, we need to work on that.  I am surprised too how spread out we are.

Ask and you shall receive:
Maidstone:    51.17N, 0.32 E

There is also a political/neighborhood of the same name listed at:
Maidstone:    51.17N, 0.35 E

Of course, both would appear in the same spot on our map.

Maidstone is about 25 miles south east of London.

According to my GPS:
N 51'13.422'    E000'34.168'

When I looked, it looked ok.
