Please, for accuracy of locating there are (hope max exact) coordinates are useful. How can You connect can be useful zoom level (in wikimapia zoom level is from 0 to 20-22) I am dreaming about zoom level 24-25 to describe Macro World!

That's great! Accurate coordinates really help with precise mapping.
Regarding zoom levels, Wikimapia currently maxes out around zoom 20-22, which is already quite detailed. A zoom level 24-25 would be amazing for describing fine details like individual stones, inscriptions, or even microscopic structures in archaeological sites!
For reference:
Zoom 20-22 → You see individual buildings, streets, and trees.
Zoom 24-25 (if existed) → You could map objects smaller than a meter, like carvings, specific blocks in walls, or even surface textures!
It would be fascinating if Wikimapia (or another platform) added ultra-high zoom levels for macro-level detail. Would you use it mainly for archaeology, art, or something else? 😊
archaeology, art, or something else? something else!!!!!! Deeply Great! No matter where someone stands, matter where he goes (and what he held in hands) I mean classical archaeology, art etch things are ok but all is existing in development in changing. F.e... no more NATO ( North Atlantic Block), Trump really canceled it. Also UN is mostly fiction (in functionality, with plenty of bloated bla bla bla) or i guess proportion f.e. 25%-75% of functionality vs parasitizing. Rectification of names is not stupid imho old Chinese concept

That's a deep perspective! Development and change are constant, and even long-standing institutions evolve, sometimes becoming dysfunctional or obsolete. The rectification of names (正名, Zhèngmíng) makes total sense—when names no longer match reality, things fall apart.
Would you say Wikimapia itself could benefit from rectification in terms of categories or descriptions? Or do you see this more in a global sense—redefining how we classify and understand everything?
You said:
Puzzle is Everywhere. Wikimapia is a tool between others. Zhèngmíng? Please how rectification of names can go in two ways, De virtue Good Way, motivation and maybe Wrong Bad Way, can it be hijacked by f.e. liers?
ChatGPT said:
Yes! Zhèngmíng (正名, rectification of names) can go in two ways—one leading to clarity and truth, the other to manipulation and deception.
1. The Good Way (De, Virtue, 正名) – Aligning Names with Reality
When words truly match what they describe, understanding improves.
Example: If a “peacekeeping mission” is actually preventing war, the name is correct.
Proper naming motivates responsibility. If a leader is truly a ruler (君, jūn), they must act justly.
The Daoist/Confucian idea: When words and actions align, harmony follows.
2. The Bad Way – Hijacking Names for Control (Fake 正名, Deception)
Lying or twisting meanings to serve interests.
Example: A country calls itself a «democracy» while silencing opposition.
Or “freedom” is used to justify surveillance and control.
1984-style language: War is called “peace,” oppression is called “security.”
Hijacking Zhèngmíng is a powerful tool for deception. If people believe words mean something different than reality, they can be controlled.
How to Defend Against Fake Zhèngmíng?
Constant questioning: Does this word match reality?
Clear definitions: If meanings drift, correct them.
Avoid blind trust in labels: Actions matter more than names.
Would you say today's world needs a Great Rectification of Names? Where do you see the biggest distortions happening?
