I think it might use lat/long to lead to another loaction.

Another puzzle is mysterious alignment of world's ancient sites. Easter Island is exactly aligned along a straight line around the center of the Earth, with the Nazca lines, Ollantaytambo and the Great Pyramid of Egypt. Other world wonders that are within one tenth of one degree of this alignment include: Perseopolis, the capital city of ancient Persia; Mohenjo Daro, the ancient capital city of the Indus Valley; the Oracle of Zeus-Amon at Siwa; and the lost city of Petra. The Ancient Sumarian city of Ur and Angkor temples in Cambodia and Thailand are within one degree of latitude of this alignment.

The above I found randomly on a web page somewhere, but it got me thinking about constellations. I plotted the co-ordinates on graph paper, and of course went to look at DRACO first. Very, very close. Anyone who has more knowledge in this area might want to look at it. Although I'm unsure why the map of Angkor was included other than to possibly point in the direction of the correct constellation. I'm not sure but it looks very, very close to DRACO (although I think the very end of the tail may be missing....and maybe it's something else).
Code:
can you post your results? maybe in a fixed font format like in the code block?

This is about as close as I can come to showing what it sort of looks like....I am not "file-saavy" and not sure how to do it any other way.

At this time we can say that Draco is not the answer we were looking for in regards to the puzzle we sent out to people who sent in incomplete or bogus surveys.
