Very interesting post. But using international system of metrics (C instead of F, meters instead of feet, etc.) would be largely more usable.

Your location for Denali (Mount McKinley) in Alaska is too far north and there is already a placemark for the true summit. Is there a way you can link to the existing placemark instead of adding another?

Probably for YOU :-). But rightly, it should be in SI units for the benefit of the majority of users.
I use both!! I prefer Celsius, but measure in feet and inches! I don't know what a kilometre looks like, and like my beer in pints, not litres. I also prefer weighing things in kilograms, not pounds!

A note about units conversion

I try to post using both systems but don't always remember to. If I want to convert, Google Search is an easy source. In the search box type, for instance, 100 F = ? C and immediately get 100 degrees Fahrenheit = 37.7777778 degrees Celsius. I usually do a little rounding to neaten things up a bit - call it 38C, good enough for most purposes. So it would be nice if posters used both units, but if they don't, there is an easy solution.

Most of what you have "published" is simply false data. You didn't do a correct research. Instead you obviously quickly put together some collected data from whatever sources ... Besides, if you publish something like that for an international community, then, please, use an international system. Thank you
