+MartyBartfast Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 (edited) If you use the new feature to correct the co-ords of a puzzle cache which is within 1 degree west of the meridian the site switches the co-ords from west to east. I.E. N 51 01.234, W000 01.234 will be changed to N 51 01.234, E000 01.234 anything with non zero degrees in the westings seems to work OK though.

Moun10Bike Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Thank you for reporting this issue. I'm also seeing the problem with latitude if you try to adjust to S 0°. I've entered the bug into our internal database for investigation. Quote Link to comment
+fitzsimons Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I've found a problem when trying to enter a corrected coordinate for a puzzle cache when the new coordinate is near the Greenwich meridian. I'm trying to enter W0° nn.nnn but the website asks me to confirm E0° nn.nnn. I can't see a way to force a change to West. I can only accept the incorrect coordinate or cancel the change.

+Mario McTavish Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Not really a problem... except for all of us that live close to the W000/E000 boundary... Like me It'll be useful once fixed, especially when integrated into a pocket query. Quote Link to comment
+Raine Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 I've found the borked code looking for a -0 (sigh). This has been fixed and will be rolled out in our first hotfix which will be tomorrow. -Raine Quote Link to comment

+Delta68 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Have a look at this cache http://coord.info/GC18BC Try and update the co-ordinates Firstly, the 000 degrees are missing Enter the corrected co-ords (I've used the original ones here) Click submit and West changes to East: Thanks Mark Quote Link to comment
+Delta68 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 OK, I just noticed that this is a known bug I also noticed it was due to be fixed 9th November... Quote Link to comment
Moun10Bike Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 The fix for this didn't make it into the hotfix. I'm following up, but it will likely have to wait for our December release. Apologies for the hassles in the meantime. Quote Link to comment
+Bobo Frett Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I think this is a great feature. But December We've just had series of 27 puzzle caches come out on almost the same day the new feature was made available. I weep Quote Link to comment
+Plasadda Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Hi there. Have had a look for a similar thread but can't see one. I have solved a couple of puzzle caches over the last couple of days and have tried to update the coordinates (using the new feature) to store the actual cache location via the website. However there seems to be a bug. The longitude marker seems to default to E and I can't get the site to recognise a westing co-ordinate. I.e. I type in the coordinates and the site recognises it fine apart from transferring W xxx xx.xxx to E xxx xx.xxx Given that I live my the prime meridian this could be quite confusing if I hadn't noticed.

+webscouter. Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Try using a - symbol before the longitude. This is a known bug when you have 000 coordinates. Quote Link to comment
