Spin 3: Babuyan Islands, Philippines
"This location was not easy to pinpoint, as most of the islands on the globe are either not labeled, or do not have modern-day equivalents. The ship depicted on the globe most likely marked a common Euro-Asian trade route. Sixteenth-century explorers navigating trade routes through the Strait of Malacca to the Pacific would have perceived "Sinarvm Popvlg" as the eastern seaboard of Asia."
"The pinpoint lies northeast of Java, off the coast of China, and due south of South Korea. Taiwan is not likely, as the pinpoint is south of the Tropic of Cancer. The north coast of the Philippines appears an appropriate location, as it is equidistant from Asia and the Tropic of Cancer." R.J. Kern, cartographer
Spin 4: South Pacific Ocean, 1000 km south of Juan Fernandez Islands
"Halfway between the Tropic of Capricorn and the Antarctic Circle in the South Pacific Ocean lies this location, approximately at 40° south latitude. South of this latitude and closer to the coast are the Archipieolago de los Chonos, a large, densely clustered group of islands.
Researching modern place-names for "Crete" in this area proved unsuccessful. It is possible that the location could be less than 100 kilometers west of the Golfo de Penas, if explorers perceived the Golfo de Penas as a waterway through South America."
However, on the globe, the point lies about 2 centimeters from land, or approximately 225 kilometers west of the Chilean coast. If this assumption is correct, one may estimate the intersection of these three points lies somewhere in the South Pacific Ocean, approximately 1000 kilometers south of the Juan Fernandez Islands. The closest approximate place on land would be Punta Galera, south of Validivia, Chile." R.J. Kern, cartographer
