Working remotely by VPN, maps, and geolocation
by Daniel Carvalho

Working remotely can put us in some funny situations!
I forgot completely that I am working in a VPN (Virtual Private Network), and so, my geo location is totally different this way!!
Until I figure out that this is the reason maps are going crazy!!! :-) I spend some time finding for a bug!! hahahahah
There is no bug, it is just the VPN! :-)

I guess many people are working remote those years!
What funny story can you tell about that??

Mathematica without VPN

In[]:=

Here

Out[]=

GeoPosition[{-23.53,-46.64}]

In[]:=

GeoGraphicsGeoDiskHere,



Out[]=

In[]:=

GeoGraphics[GeoDisk[Here,

100

]]

Out[]=

In[]:=

GeoGraphicsGeoMarker[Here],GeoRange

200km



Out[]=

In[]:=

GeoGraphics[GeoMarker[Here],GeoRange"World"]

Out[]=

Mathematica by VPN

In[]:=

Here

Out[]=

GeoPosition[{40.11,-88.24}]

In[]:=

GeoGraphicsGeoDiskHere,



Out[]=

In[]:=

GeoGraphics[GeoDisk[Here,

100

]]

Out[]=

In[]:=

GeoGraphicsGeoMarker[Here],GeoRange

200km



Out[]=

In[]:=

GeoGraphics[GeoMarker[Here],GeoRange"World"]

Out[]=

Here and there

In[]:=

With[{locations={GeoPosition[{-23.53`,-46.64`}],GeoPosition[{40.11`,-88.24`}]}},GeoGraphics[{{Blue,GeoPath[locations,"Geodesic"]}},GeoRange"World",GeoProjection"Robinson"]]

Out[]=

Lets check what Wolfram|Alpha has to say:

In[]:=

Champaing, Sao Paulo

Interpreting "Champaing" as "champaign"

Assuming "Sao Paulo" is a city | Use as

an administrative division

instead

Assuming Champaign (Illinois, USA) | Use

Champlain (New York, USA)

instead

São Paulo,São Paulo
