Hiding a cache

[+E Ticket 0]

I have hidden over 30 caches so I am not real new at this. I replaced a cache with a new hide. When I tried to use the online form I could not advance past page 2 because it could not understand my cache coords of:

 

N 38º02.584 W 121º22.232

 

Yes my gps is WGS-84

 

What is wrong with the above coords?

Remove the degree symbols and just use

 

N 38 02.584 W 121 22.232

Or.... use the old form. There are bugs yet with the ßeta form.

 

With either form, if you are using the degree symbol ( ° ), don't.

N 38 02.584 W 121 22.232

I tried that and the online cache report would not accept the coordinates. I am not new to this either. I am beginning to wonder If there is a glitch in the reporting form.

You were all right. I took out the degree symbol and it worked. I thought I tried that before to no avail. Also that is not one of the options on the online form. I should not try to follow directions to the letter. The cache is submitted. Thanks for your help.

Yeah I noticed that too, that the instructions show the degree symbol, yet it can be problematic. Perhaps this should be added to the bugs forum as well?
