Damn my answers are dull compared to almost everyone else’s, but here goes:
North - Anchorage
South - Orlando
West - Anchorage
East - Philadelphia
Highest - Pike’s Peak, Colorado (4301 meters) (14110 ft)
Lowest - Daytona Beach, Florida
hmm tough one i am just going by guessing because i dont have a map with me…
North: Paris
South: Tijuana
East: Pisa? or Rome?
West: San Fran.
I live in Sacramento
I’ve been in every state in the union, except Alaska. Although I did go to Vancouver Canada, so that’s the northmost. Key West Florida and the bottom tip of Texas are the bottoms, I forget which is lower latitude. Death Valley, and whichever is tallest, Pike’s Peak or Denver.
North: Koln (Cologne), Germany
South: Orlando, Florida, US
East: Salzburg, Austria
West: San Francisco, CA, US
Highest: Loveland Pass in the Colorado Rockies, 11,990 ft.
Lowest: Sea level, Atlantic or Pacific ocean.
North: near Nairn, Scotland (57°35’N)
East: Paris, France (2°20’E)…and apparently the Louvre is about as far east as I went
South: Tampa, FL (27°51’N)
West: Pacifica, CA (122°29’W)
Highest: Eisenhower Tunnel, CO (11,158 feet)
Lowest: well, apparently the Channel Tunnel does not count so I am at a loss.
North: Iceland
South: Perth, Western Australia
East: Japan
West: Seattle, USA
Up: Hmmm… Somewhere in the Alps, I think.
Down: The shore of the Dead Sea.
North is easy. Berlin
South is a little harder. Either Bali or Tanzania, the national park in Tanzani is a really close call to Bali.
The east and west is harder. In the Continental US, I’ve been as far west as San Francisco and as far east as NYC. Also been to Hawaii.
In Europe and Africa, I’ve been as far west as London and as far east as Tanzania. However, I had to go west from Japan to get there. Which direction does that count? West? I’ve also gone to Europe via the States, so would that be east?
Assuming that a layover in UEA doesn’t count, there is a gap between Tanzania and northern Thailand which I haven’t been to.
I’ll give up about now and just say a lot of places.
North: Saint Petersburg, Russia (60º 00’ 29’’ N) - this was last Friday, and I unknowingly at the time made it above 60 N for about 45 minutes, according to my GPS datalogger.
South: Maui, Hawaii (20º 42’ N)
East: Beijing, China (116º 25’ E)
West: Honolulu, Hawaii (157º 56’ W)
Lowest: either sea level or maybe Amsterdam Schiphol.
Highest: probably Huanglong, Sichuan, China (~11,800 feet), followed closely by some mountain pass on Rt. 40 in Colorado.
I really need to get into the southern hemisphere, so maybe Brazil next year.

Hold down the <ALT> key and type in 248 and then let up on the <ALT> key.
Instant “°”
Or you could just find one earlier in the thread, highlight it, then copy-and-paste.
