+GMartinTX Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 A new cache published tonight, and this is what I saw when I checked the street view... Quote Link to comment
+K13 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Sometimes the Google maps are not an exact match to the real world. A couple of the other available maps showed the point to be closer to one of the actual corners. What did your GPSr have to sway when you arrived for the search? Quote Link to comment
+Gitchee-Gummee Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Standard map shows it on the NE corner (that guy already walked past it). Don't ever trust map overlays. I believe I can tell you where it is, from the photo... but then, I've been wrong before, too! Edited January 12, 2014 by Gitchee-Gummee Quote Link to comment
+dprovan Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I'm thinking if you go there, you'll find a incongruous blue police box at that spot. Quote Link to comment
+GMartinTX Posted January 12, 2014 Author Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) Yeah, I know about the inexact nature of satellite/street view imagery. I just thought it was humorous to see - with a tiny bit of imagination - what appears to be a guy following his phone/GPS to the coordinates in the middle of the street... I didn't go after the cache (too close to my bedtime, work night, etc) I just looked to see where it was. Edited January 12, 2014 by GMartinTX Quote Link to comment

+GopherGreg Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 If the cache is by a new cacher then maybe he used a poor GPS. A new cacher in our area placed a cache 20 meters off from the coordinates because he used "His dad's road GPS". And what's the size? My guess is nano on the street sign! Quote Link to comment
+wimseyguy Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 DUDE, where's my cache? Quote Link to comment
