Player "CrescentStar" is the current center of US6. Their neighbor, Draconitis, hasn't moved. At all. I feel like any future searches would rely on that one's position more than anything else.Anyone know where the US6 center is?
I don't think the list is current, because when I try to see Mantouf on the map it puts my city in the center.
Thanks, Zoof. I'll let Jorollyn know.Player "CrescentStar" is the current center of US6. Their neighbor, Draconitis, hasn't moved. At all. I feel like any future searches would rely on that one's position more than anything else.

EDIT: The methodology in this post still seems to be good for determining the center city. It's a bit of work, though.
It's a slam dunk now.I'm on US4, and Lewna is at the middle of the map.

In the related JSON code, we can see how the World Map coordinates are defined.

The debugging page screenshot is too large for the forum, but if you're a bit of a techie, it's pretty interesting.
- Load your own city on a Windows or Apple desktop computer, not on a mobile
- Click on the score below your portrait, and search for a UserName
- Visit their city (Lewna in our example)
- Use ctrl+shift+I (or the hamburger menu, more tools, developer tools) to load the debugger
- Click in the debugger, and use ctrl+ScrollWheel (or hamburger menu zoom) and make the text large enough to see
- Click on the World Map and use Ctrl+ScrollWheel to squeeze the World Map
- Drag the debugger window to make it pretty large and select the Network tab
- Make sure the RED DOT network recorder is enabled
- Click on the World Map icon in the user's city
- Use Search to locate a line of JSON code that includes the desired UserName
- Click on the Response line, and then click on the { } (pretty code) icon at the bottom of the page
- Click anywhere in the pretty code, and then use ctrl+f (find) to locate the desired UserName (again)
- Use the Logo+S key, and use Snip, if you want to post the fruits of your labors
- Remember to get some sleep, eventually
The center of the map will have the highest percentage of active cities, for trading and visits.This may be a stupid question, but why does it matter who is at the center of a map?
They haven't logged in for over 60 days and their city has been removed from the map.Why is it that when I visit a person's city and then back out through the world globe, I am taken to my section of the world map instead of theirs? I remember I used to be able to do that. Was it changed or is there a glitch?
