very nice pointing indeed emil
so thanxx & kudos to you & to david also for getting this going

it is great to see at last & so vividly the overall distributions &
relative concentrations we are dealing with

& your maps are also a dramatic & sobering demonstration that any endeavor
to create a clickable tricountry point map for the whole world like the
tristate point map brian has made for the united states really must include
regional blowups so as to thin out the unmanageable density of the richest
tripoint areas

or else the portrayal of the world must be so large as to make it hard to
use at normal viewing scale

but it is most encouraging to see already in place the technology needed
for sidestepping any such problem as this


also since i gather from what you have previously said that another shoe
is yet to drop from your machine i am guessing that the actual data shown
on these maps are not quite your final draft yet either
so i am holding back on any attempt to compare or check the dots against
our previous lists & guesses at least until you say you are ready for that
& would like to proceed


in any case major congrats all around for getting us here
