My bad combined with an inaccuracy in the book. At 3000 mets north
of equator Lojem cannot be at 70 degrees lattitude so I read that
as 70 degrees longitude and assume dan made the same error I did.

So:

Jaern: 30 degrees north lattitude, 70 degrees longitude (dunno east/west)
Galeia: 30 degrees south lattitude, 70 degrees longitude (again...)
Centralia: 60 degrees north lattitude, 70 degrees longitude (with Galeia)

My bad for getting those backward Sean. Thanks for pointing it out.
Now if someone wants to arbitrarily decide where 0 degrees longitude
is so that we can decide east/west issues :)
