Thanks to Catoplayer for doing 13 POIs (and the core zones) for Las Medulas!
They 'explain' this slightly complicated site so well.

Planing my Barcelona-Trip in two weeks time, I realized, that most of the Antoni Gaudi-POIs are incorrect. They are all northeast of the correct position. Here are the correct locations:

Sagrada Familia: should be at 41.403507 / 2.174424
Casa Milà "La Pedrera": should be at 41.395307 / 2.161867
Palacio Güell: should be at 41.378861 / 2.174126
Casa Vicens: should be at 41.403444 / 2.150687
Crypt at the Colonia Güell: should be at 41.363685 / 2.027779

Park Güell: is not really incorrect, but better would be at 41.414064 / 2.152443

Casa Batllo: is correct

Just a note - try not to be too exhaustive, it is more about what you would recommend a friend to visit when going to a site. Things like gardens and regional museums usually aren't that interesting (they may be in this case, but you'd have to explain why)

Mining: 3

- Bocamina San Ramón: 21.043585605043667, -101.25808662836508
- Museo Mina Valenciana 1791: 21.040396624052008, -101.2603831170566
- Mina de Guadalupe: 21.040426664602414, -101.25986813295874

It would be good here for example to recommend one that is actually good for visiting. From the other reviews, another one (Bocamina de San Cayetano) was recommended by Frederic (have added it to the map)

Plaque of Forth Bridge: The map of Forth Bridge shows a plaque located in North Queensferry, but there is also a plaque in South Queensferry. It is on the "Forth bridges viewing platform", approx. lat 55.9881668488322, long -3.4032177283742615. I don't have a photo of it myself, but if you want to see it, you can find it on internet, for example here: https://www.theforthbridges.org/about-the-forth-bridges/forth-bridge/unesco-world-heritage-site/

A little more on plaque coordinates, because something may have gone wrong in the conversions of coordinates for a few plaques:

Royal Saltwork of Arc-et-Senans: the plaque shows up a long way to the right in the middle of a river. It should be on the field along the path to the entrance: lat 47.03196796100954, long 5.778520437061889.

Fortified City of Carcassonne: It shows now inside the walls, but it is outside the Porte Narbonaisse where the bridge starts: 43.2065866027838 / 2.3659514033364992.

Chartres Cathedral: the plaque shows a few streets to the left, but if I remember correctly it is (almost hidden) somewhere on a wall in the garden outside of the sanctuary-side of the church, around 48.4482456910401 / 1.4878025031618725.

And finally, I believe that the plaque at the Castra of Saalburg (Frontiers of the Roman Empire) is on the wrong side of the grounds. It is outside the main entrance at 50.27056827685976 / 8.567174084235237.

Hope this helps!

The location of plaque 5 at Housesteads for Frontiers of the Roman Empire ("pink metal plaque, including all elements, just to the right of the entrance to the museum") is slightly wrong. It's currently located at 55.0097817,-2.3241367, but that's the visitor centre not the museum. It should be at 55.012183,-2.331594, the museum (where I have seen it).

I've also just uploaded a photograph of that plaque.
