+cynwood Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I am new at geocaching, but having fun. Is there anyway to find out what the coordinates are for a place before you go there? As it is now I am researching caches in the area by looking for clues in the descripition and viewing the maps. I also have resorted to calling a friend with the coordinates when I get to my destination and having them go on line to see what might be in the area. Finding out coordinates in advance when I know were I want to go would be a big help. TFTH Quote Link to comment
+Team Tired Boy Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I do it by using DeLorme topographic maps on my computer. Quote Link to comment
+Miragee Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 I have the Mapsource maps and use those. For people who have fast Internet connections, Google is a great tool. Quote Link to comment
+Team Cotati Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 If by 'place' you mean a city or town or village, then you might find this site quite helpful: http://www.getty.edu/research/conducting_r...cabularies/tgn/ Others have found it so. Quote Link to comment
