Google Coord's

[+BrrrMo]

These are the coord's for a Cache on Groundspeak

 

N38.06.644, W092.37.093

 

When I enter them in to Google "Fly To" it takes me around to the other side of Mother Earth.

 

How do you translate the GS coord's to Google "Fly To" coords?

North and East are considered positive numbers while South and West are considered negative. Try taking out the N and replacing the W with a minus sign.

I use this site to convert coordinates. It's very flexible on what type of coords that you enter.

Try this format: 38° 06.644 -092° 37.093

Or just remove the period after the N38 and the W092 and add a space. That is the culprit. It should read: N38 06.644, W092 37.093 That worked for me!

Excellent! Worked for me as well.

I have used that many times & it works great. And being kinda lazy, i use the 'copy & paste' method to get the coordinates from GC over to Google Earth.

Yes, that format is expressed as Degrees DecimalMinutes, or 38 degrees, 6.644 minutes.

 

When I saw the of title of the thread I though the OP was looking for the coordinates for Google complex in Mountain View, CA and the "Google Fall" cache located there. I found that cache last year prior to an all day meeting at the Google complex.

Thanks everyone, appreciate the info. At least now I stay on the right side of the World.
