I held my compass next to my vista to compare the two. For some strange reason the needle always pointed toward the vista. I guess if I ever lose my GPS I can use my compass to find it. ... Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, ... unclerojelio

The first thing is that WGS84 is a datum, not a format. The second thing is to convert hddd mm ss to hddd mm.mmm you just divide the seconds by 60 and add to the minutes. The third thing is that you could set your GPSr to hddd mm ss format and enter the coords and then switch the format back to hddd mm.mmm. ...

I personlly have no problem with this cache. It's kinda like loaning money to family or friends. You might as well consider it a gift. When I leave something out in the woods, whether it is a quarter, a WG.com dollar, or my favorite McToy, I pretty much don't have any further expectations. ...

You are only seeing USGS benchmarks in the database. Many other organizations have used them as starting points to fill in the empty spaces. ... Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, ... unclerojelio

Well, you got me there. I just don't know what to say when it comes to Aggies, except that if it weren't for Aggies we wouldn't have as many jokes to tell. Three Texans go to Mexico for a night of drinking and fun. They wake up the next morning in jail and cannot remember what they did the night before to get there. After a kangaroo trial, they are sentenced to death by electrocution. Secured to the chair, the first Aggie is asked if he has any last comments before his sentence is carried out. "I went to the School of Divinity at Texas A&M and I'm convinced the Good Lord has me in His hands and will protect me from all harm," he says. Having so declared, they throw the switch, only to have nothing happen. The Mexicans shrug and decide that maybe Providence did have a hand in it; so they let the first Aggie go free. When the second Aggie is secured and asked for his last comments, he declares, "I attended the A&M School of Jurisprudence. I'm a convinced the Law protects the innocent!" Having said this, the Mexican executioner pulls the switch and nothing happens. The second Aggie is also set free. The third Aggie is dragged to the chair and securely tied with the straps. "Señor, what are your last words?" the Magistrate asks. "I attended Texas A&M School of Electrical Engineers; and I can tell you one thing: you're never gonna get this thing to work if you don't connect those two wires!" ...
