Null Island ..
If we type a location name in any map software on mobile, the program will immediately create coordinates for that name. For example, if you type Kottayam on Google Maps, the program will show you the location of 9 ° 35'29.6 "N 76 ° 31'19.8" E. It is the Coordinates of Kottayam Town. The first is longitude and the next is latitude. But what if we type a wrong place or a non-existent place? The program will still make a coordinate. That would be 0º longitude and 0º latitude. This means that the program is reset. That is, 0 ° N 0 ° E is the coordinates of the space that is not on the map.

Now, type this address in one of Google Maps. In fact, there is such a place! Google Pointer is now parked in the ocean floor off the Atlantic off the African coast! What's in there? There is nothing there, just a sea of water. But the place now has a name, the Null Island. 0 ° N 0 ° E, or Null Island, is the point where the equator crosses the prime meridian of the equator and the Greenwich in England. This location is used for reference, resetting GPS devices and calibrating map devices.
There was only a sea buck, but now there is a weather buoy. Wetherboy is a cables tied together to study the ocean's climate and changes in sea water. Some internet enthusiasts are spreading the word that there is an island here and that they are earning money from tourists.
