Coordinate error

{{geodata-check}}

The following coordinate fixes are needed for Dismal Swamp State Park GPS 36.5057,-76.3551

Not done. The coordinates you've suggested are approximately those of the park entrance, but the coordinates in the article are for a point near the center of the park. I see no particular reason to use the entrance coordinates, which are along the eastern border of the park, in preference to more-central coordinates. Deor (talk) 19:10, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
