+Micedray Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 What's the correct format for entering the coordinates on an Android Geocache APP? I was doing a multi step cache where I had to answer questions to obtain the coordinates. When I entered the coordinates it would put me miles away. Quote Link to comment
+cerberus1 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Top "add a waypoint" like a stage in a multi... Scroll down, tap Waypoints. Tap the + symbol. Enter the coordinates for your waypoint Quote Link to comment
+kunarion Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 (edited) Enter “Degrees Minutes.Decimal Minutes”. The format will be along the lines of what you see on a cache description, and the solution typically will look very similar. Something like N 33° 27.020 W 084° 27.111 But with a Multi-cache, exactly what to add to what, that’s not always clear. You may ask the cache owner.

Something like N 33° 27.020 W 084° 27.111 I am probably being a bit pedantic here but I would describe the format as "Degrees Decimal Minutes". The "minutes" portion of the coordinates are a value for minutes, expressed as a decimal number (e.g 27.020) 1 Quote Link to comment
