I am using the GPS device on my Verizon phone. It seems to use the "degrees, minutes, seconds" system for coordinates, which gives me a bit of trouble sometimes finding coordinates. However, here's where it gets wierd. While I was hiding my geocache "Stellar Arcana - Observatory" (GC228QK) I checked the coordinates for the first location. It registered as "N 34 degrees, 7' 5.8 / W 118 degrees, 18' 1.0". However, after I entered all of this information into the site, it didn't register the numbers I put in. Instead, different numbers appear. (They are close, but not quite on.) And I'm not talking about a different system, it's the "degrees, minutes, seconds" system that's registering wrong.
Even though the numbers are close, people are still having difficulty finding my cache, and I want them to be able to locate it. Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks!
