Using the supplied tool, you move a Cross Hair Icon onto the correct location on the screen map. You figure out the correct location by eye-balling it in. Things like the locations of borders, rivers and other natural map features all help you to decide on the correct spot. When you are satisfied, you press an OK button and the coordinates are recorded to the output field along with the city name. You repeat this process with different maps, starting with a map of the world. The Location Tool comes with online instructions and is simple to operate.

Recycle the list for each regional or country map on the list as applicable. The result will be a text file list of Cities and various maps and coordinates on those maps of the city's location.
Return the text file list via EMail.
