+Sagefox Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Maybe I am going blind but I can't find a degree symbol on the iPad keyboard...help! Nunavut435 Why do you need the degree symbol? Where are you trying to post cache coordinates that you need a degree symbol? GC.com form only ask for the numbers and a N/S and E/W letters. Quote Link to comment
+Ambient_Skater Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Press the button that looks like a globe on the keyboard to scroll through additional keyboards. You might have to enable the character keyboard first. Quote Link to comment
+Chief301 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 If you need to post coordinates just skip a space where the degree symbol would go, I.e., N 12 34.567, W 098 76.543. Should take it without any problems. Quote Link to comment
+Shaved Ewok Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Maybe I am going blind but I can't find a degree symbol on the iPad keyboard...help! Nunavut435 I just copy paste coordinates from a nearby cache then change the numbers. Quote Link to comment
+Sagefox Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Why do you need the degree symbol? Where are you trying to post cache coordinates that you need a degree symbol? Perhaps I just found out why you want to post coordinates with the degree symbols. This partial quote from one of your cache pages: "Starting point N49.49.390 W119.41.067 ..." A better way to provide this information is by using the "additional waypoints" feature on the cache online submittal form. When you use this feature the additional waypoints will download along with the primary coordinates. This way folks will have the additional waypoints in their gps units without having to enter them manually. This feature is excellent for parking and trailhead locations - in fact, that is what it was created for. Quote Link to comment
