-<p>Many people have expressed interest in information on the
-location of Debian developers.
-We therefore decided to add, as part of the developer database
-a field where developers can specify their world coordinates.

+<h2>How to add your Coordinates</h2>
+
+<p>
+If you would like to add your coordinates to your database entry, log in
+to the <a href="https://db.debian.org">Debian Developers' Database</a>
+and modify your entry. If you don't know the coordinates of your home
+town, you can use <a href="https://osm.org">OpenStreetMap</a> to look
+them up. Search for your city and select the direction arrows next to the
+search field. Drag the green marker to the OSM map, and the coordinates
+will appear in the <em>From</em> field.
+</p>
+
+<p>The format for coordinates is one of the following:</p>
-<p><img src="developers.map.jpeg" alt="World Map">
-
-<p>If you are a developer and would like to add your coordinates
-to your database entry, log in to the
-<a href="https://db.debian.org">Debian Developers' Database</a>
-and modify your entry. If you don't know the coordinates of your
-hometown, You should be able to find it from one of the following
-locations:
-<ul>
-<li><a href="https://osm.org">Openstreetmap</a>
-You can search for your city in the search bar.
-Select the direction arrows next to the search bar. Then, drag the
-green marker to the OSM map. The coords will appear in the 'from' box.
-</ul>
-
-<p>The format for coordinates is one of the following:
<dl>
-<dt>Decimal Degrees
-<dd>The format is +-DDD.DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. This is the
- format programs like xearth use and the format that
- many positioning web sites use. However typically
- the precision is limited to 4 or 5 decimals.
-<dt>Degrees Minutes (DGM)
-<dd>The format is +-DDDMM.MMMMMMMMMMMMM. It is not an
- arithmetic type, but a packed representation of two
- separate units, degrees and minutes. This output is
- common from some types of hand held GPS units and
- from NMEA format GPS messages.
-<dt>Degrees Minutes Seconds (DGMS)
-<dd>The format is +-DDDMMSS.SSSSSSSSSSS. Like DGM, it
- is not an arithmetic type but a packed representation
- of three separate units: degrees, minutes and
- seconds. This output is typically derived from web
- sites that give 3 values for each position. For
- instance 34:50:12.24523 North might be the position
- given, in DGMS it would be +0345012.24523.
+ <dt>Decimal Degrees</dt>
+ <dd>The format is <code>+-DDD.DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD</code>. Programs like
+ Xearth and many other positioning web sites use it. The precision is
+ limited to 4 or 5 decimals.</dd>
+ <dt>Degrees Minutes (DGM)</dt>
+ <dd>The format is <code>+-DDDMM.MMMMMMMMMMMMM</code>. It's not
+ arithmetic, but a packed representation of two separate units: degrees
+ and minutes. This output is common with some types of handheld GPS
+ devices and NMEA format GPS messages.</dd>
+ <dt>Degrees Minutes Seconds (DGMS)</dt>
+ <dd>The format is <code>+-DDDMMSS.SSSSSSSSSSS</code>. Like DGM, it's
+ not arithmetic, but a packed representation of three separate units:
+ degrees, minutes, and seconds. This output is typically derived
+ from web sites which give 3 values for each position. For example,
+ <code>34:50:12.24523 North</code> might be the given position, and in
+ DGMS it would be <code>+0345012.24523</code>.</dd>

<p>
-For Latitude + is North, for Longitude + is East. It is
-important to specify enough leading zeros to dis-ambiguate
-the format that is being used if your position is less
-than 2 degrees from a zero point.
+<strong>Please note:</strong> <code>+</code> is North for latitude,
+<code>+</code> is East for longitude. It's important to specify enough
