somebody has to plot these all on a U.S. map and post it up!!! I'm so curious.

We wanna divide these up so we're not all looking up the same ones? I've started from the bottom, BTW.

Anyone want to try to apply this to a map? The GPS coordinates idea thing sounds interesting.

here's a thought, plot them all out on paper to see if they spell anything significant out

Connect the dots? Any way of you producing that PNG with the coordinates linked in order?

Don't know if this is helpful but in the source, they are all identified as DIV ID "transmit"
Definiately a message in there somewhere...

You might try connecting the point in the left column with the point in the right column.... also, does your png coordinate mapping match lat/long/gps coord mapping (i.e. is the negative and positive running in the same direction?)

they need to be linked in order maybe.... draw lines between them, but in the order that they appear.... plotting the points out of order won't help us

Tested a few of them and they are map to actualy roads. I am thinking that the names might be important.

The plot of the axon.png has the lat and long axis askew. But if you rotate it and mirror it, you can see a string of hits down the california coast, a bunch in the north east, and one down on the tip of Florida. Now what these points are...
I speculate that they are positions of IP address of ARG players

check out the letter of the cities...i saw alot of M's, for example...maybe it spells something? if anyone finds any near boston, i'll go there with my GPS unit and see if something is there...

The roads or cities might be important, but I don't think the US map will spell anything. Some things practically right on top of each other.
Who has a lat/long to road lookup?
