+E Ticket Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 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?

+strontium87 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Remove the degree symbols and just use N 38 02.584 W 121 22.232 Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment
+nunavut435 Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Remove the degree symbols and just use 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. Nunavut 435 Nunavut435 Quote Link to comment

+E Ticket Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment

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? Quote Link to comment
