#' Table of geographic location names, and associated coordinates
#'
#' Lists geographic locations that can be input to \code{\link{findHost}} or
#' \code{\link{findParasite}} and the corresponding latitude and longitude coordinates 
#' of the country's centroid. The georeferencing was performed dynamically using the 
#' Google Maps API, but they have since restricted access. The data on locations is now
#' provided in this data file called \code{locations} -- \code{data(locations)} -- and is based on 
#' an earlier usage of \code{ggmap}. The geographic coordinates may not be accurate, and users
#' should check for accuracy (and feel free to file an issue or PR on Github with corrections).
