Which cities share Columbia’s latitude and longitude?

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you walked in a straight line around the world from Columbia? Wonder no longer, wanderer.

Let us introduce you to LatLon Connect, an online tool that allows users to explore cities across the world that share the same latitude and longitude.

Here’s how it works

• Head to the site and type in any city you like.
• Follow the blue lines in any direction to see which other cities are highlighted. Those are the ones directly in line with your original destination.
• Bonus: The settings button at the top of the screen allows users to tweak the results, meaning you can look for cities with smaller or greater populations, and you can expand the buffer distance — altering the number of cities that will show up.

Here’s what we found

In our search, we stuck with the default settings, looking for places with 100,000+ people with a buffer zone of 6.21 miles (that’s 10 kilometers).

Dozens of results popped up in our search, with the most populated city lying directly to the west: Los Angeles, California.

Up next, in the opposite direction with ~1.7 million people, is Rabat, Morocco (pictured above). The entire city is classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, acknowledged for its blend of historical charm and ambitious modern development.
