#2Interested to know what folks think - if there are any obvious mistakes, if you have any requests for strings to map, or any cool ideas we could try with the data.

#3This would be awesome as an interactive map - mousing over the places would be interesting.

Wow that's a pretty good idea - I'll see if I can find a way to make this. I think I'd need some kind of map API that lets me plot coordinates and define mouse-over text for each pin.

You can likely base a map on this: http://bl.ocks.org/michellechandra/0b2ce4923dc9b5809922 - the UK GeoJSON data is here: https://github.com/martinjc/UK-GeoJSON

Interesting. It looks like I can use d3-geo to get a map of the world and then clip it down from there. I'll have a play with it after work.
