kingsmen26 Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 On a cache page it says that the precise starting point is "GCM 857607". Can anyone tell me how to figure this out.I have no idea what this system of coordinates is. [This message was edited by kingsmen26 on June 19, 2003 at 02:37 PM.] Link to comment

+The Leprechauns Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Hmmm I see no reference to the term on the cache page you linked us to. If my detective work is right, you are referring to this cache, which uses a Canadian Geodetic Marker as the starting point (the Canadian equivalent of a benchmark). Then comes higher mathematics time. Not exactly a park 'n grab. I sure hope I guessed correctly. It is always a rush to out-Markwell Markwell. x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x Some mornings, it just doesn't pay to chew through the leather straps. - Emo Phillips Link to comment

+The Leprechauns Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Why yes, I believe you do. x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x Some mornings, it just doesn't pay to chew through the leather straps. - Emo Phillips Link to comment
