    <p>I have this image: <a href="https://imgur.com/99tSz.png" rel="noreferrer">http://imgur.com/99tSz.png</a>. A map of the UK (not including Southern Ireland).</p> <p>I have successfully managed to get a latitude and longitude and plot it onto this map by taking the leftmost longitude and rightmost longitude of the UK and using them to work out where to put the point on the map.</p> <p>This is the code (for use in Processing.js but could be used as js or anything):</p> <pre><code>// Size of the map int width = 538; int height = 811; // X and Y boundaries float westLong = -8.166667; float eastLong = 1.762833; float northLat = 58.666667; float southLat = 49.95; void drawPoint(float latitude, float longitude){ fill(#000000); x = width * ((westLong-longitude)/(westLong-eastLong)); y = (height * ((northLat-latitude)/(northLat-southLat))); console.log(x + ", " + y); ellipseMode(RADIUS); ellipse(x, y, 2, 2); } </code></pre> <p>However, I haven't been able to implement a Mercator projection on these values. The plots are reasonably accurate but they are not good enough and this projection would solve it.</p> <p>I can't figure out how to do it. All the examples I find are explaining how to do it for the whole world. <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Mercator" rel="noreferrer">This</a> is a good resource of examples explaining how to implement the projection but I haven't been able to get it to work.</p> <p>Another resource is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_points_of_the_United_Kingdom" rel="noreferrer">Extreme points of the United Kingdom</a> where I got the latitude and longitude values of the bounding box around the UK. They are also here:</p> <pre><code>northLat = 58.666667; northLong = -3.366667; eastLat = 52.481167; eastLong = 1.762833; southLat = 49.95; southLong = -5.2; westLat = 54.45; westLong = -8.166667; </code></pre> <p>If anyone could help me with this, I would greatly appreciate it!</p> <p>Thanks</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
