Notes

† I've listed Singapore here because geographically, I've been in Singapore (i.e. in that part of the world), but not politically - I never entered the territory of Singapore, as I remained in international territory.

^ This city is also the capital.

* I visited this city's airport.

Geo extremes

I find geographical extremes interesting, because they can show how far you've been traveling.

East

25°00' N, 121°35' E (Taipei Zoo, Taipei, Republic of China)

North

54°31' N, 18°33' E (Gdynia Marina, Poland)

South

01°21' N, 103°59' E (Singapore Changi Airport, Singapore)

West

40°41' N, 74°02' W (Liberty Island, New York City, USA)

Note: This lists only on-ground extremes; aircraft extremes are not considered.

Geo centers

"Geographic center" is also an interesting indicator. I've found this site to be of particular use when calculating geographic midpoints.

Now, I've calculated my midpoints by entering only the extremes, i.e. only 4 sets of latitude+longitude. Perhaps midpoint for all the visited places would be a better indicator, but it's quite impractical to input all of the coordinates, especially if you've visited lots of places.

So, here are my midpoints for my extremes:

• geographic midpoint: 57°56'58" N, 87°56'19" E (somewhere in the Tomsk Oblast, Russia)
• center of distance: 43°53'37" N, 101°53'03" E (somewhere in south Mongolia)
• average latitude/longitude: 30°24'27" N, 42°30'33" E (somewhere in the Northern Borders Region, Saudi Arabia)
