The coastline data is shared with "History of Technology" (Natural Earth, longitude -130° to 145°, latitude 10° to 72°), covering the Silk Road, Europe, China, and North America; place coordinates use standard identifications of the figures’ main places of activity. A few figures (such as the pseudonymous Satoshi) have no definite location and are not on the map, though they still appear in the cards and graph.
