browse link to this group, sorry).<br/>
I&#39;m just compiling a list of country borders at the 192(3)-country, <br/>
200nm EEZ level, so I get a bit gripped about lines of equidistance.<br/>
Are we talking Puerto Rico/USA/US Virgin Is. tripoints here? And if <br/>
so, where? And does it necessarily follow that the bigger claim <br/>
pushes the border back, as you seem to be suggesting?<br/>
Or do I have a hold of the other end of a completely different stick?<br/>
<br/>
And BTW if anyone out there can shed light on the out-of-focus <br/>
equidistance quadripoint between Puerto Rico, US Virgins, Anguilla <br/>
and the northern bit of the Netherlands Antilles, I&#39;d be very <br/>
grateful. On Prescott&#39;s map the lines of equidistance converge to a <br/>
quadripoint, but that surely isn&#39;t the case on the ground/sea.<br/>
