Not only does it provide more context when someone is initially reading a post, but it also gives people travelling somewhere new a heads-up on interesting geology to look out for when they get there (strangely, most guidebooks are rather silent on this very important question).<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve still got a fair number of back posts to work through, which will probably be added to the map in piecemeal fashion over the next few weeks, but there&#8217;s enough points on there now to give you a flavour.
