Sorry Dal:

I did misread the clue somehow, and was thinking of another place. I blame a cerebral outgassing on my part.

Re: Costa Rica, it is very easy with small countries on a big map for a small error to seem big. That's especially true if on the coast or near some other recognizable feature. If it were someplace in the middle of a map of Russia, I might not have noticed such a small misplacement.

Hi tickman,

I really appreciate your advice but I think you may be mistaken about New Mexico. I don’t have anything there. Perhaps you mean: Mesa Verde N. Park, Colorado? When I Google map this address it seems accurate.

Your right about Costa Rica it was off a little, but fixed now. Funny how just a little bit puts you in the wrong country

Thanks for paying attention.

Dal:

Great. A couple of minor glitches:

Your New Mexico is really closer to Utah/Arizona border, judging by the big lake.

Your Costa Rica is in Nicaragua, mostly.

I think if you jiggle those a little, the arrows will be close enough that there will be no confusion, and you won't need to redraw the background, which (as I well know) is a major pain, and winds up with deleted high scores and ratings.

The New Mexico dot needs to go SE, so the arrow would still point towards it, just more distant. The Costa Rica arrow would be just a little off-kilter.

Still, great effort: *****

I can guarantee that anytime Costa Rica, Guatamala or El Salvador is involved I'll get them mixed up.
