I may be missing something really obvious, but I don't think they ever really state where the EDZ is, geographically-speaking. I'd assume somewhere on the very eastern edges of Europe, as it was a place one could travel to by foot, theoretically. But then [i]that[/i], in turn, begs the question of where exactly the Cosmodrome was, basically existing right outside the city walls - which, at least by in-game accounts, is simply marked "Old Russia."
I guess it's not of the utmost importance, but just for sake of understanding the world Bungie put us in, I was wondering if anyone knew whereabouts these locations are - if only in approximate location relative to each other. Thanks for the help, I super appreciate it!

Not related to the EDZ or Cosmodrome, but some people have been talking about the Tower. The Tower in D2 is not the Tower from D1, or even close to it. In D1, you could see other Towers around the Traveler. The D2 Tower is a section of the City Wall next to a destroyed Tower. That Tower is in the middle of the Wall. The D1 Tower is not. The wall is not a continuous circle, the ends don't meet. They split around the D1 Tower. In Homecoming, this is retconned and the Wall now runs through the Tower, but you still can't see the social space from the Tower when looking at the Wall from the Tower North. You can see the Wall where the social space should be, but it's not there. If you look behind the Tower in D1 or in Homecoming, there is nothing but open space then some mountains. In the D2 social space, there is some sort of factory being the blown up Tower. We are unable to see any nearby Towers in D2, so it isn't one of the 2 visible in D1 or the original social space. We are most likely on the other side of the Traveler. Sorry for the length. TL;DR: D2 Tower is on the other side of the Traveler from the D1 Tower.
