    • NB "Currently not all available data is returned"
  • Location: http://vici.org/data.php?bounds=38.0,-7.0,40.0,-5.0&zoom=11
    • The area is defined by two corners of 'bounds' (latitude, longitude of south-west point, latitude, longitude of north-east point). The higher the value of 'zoom', the more 'detail' markers are returned.
