Given a text file like this...



map.txt



51.032300 -0.489200 Treasure
51.067741 -0.516435 Monster
51.231690 -0.335800 Palm Tree

...I'd like to locate the text at the coordinates specified.



I guess there's a way to automate this?

I should point out that those coordinates are latitude and longitude!

For anyone else trying to do the same thing, this script is invaluable:
