+Alfouine Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 To publish my waymark in this category, i chose my coordinates, i went to Geocaching sites and found owners nearby. In Australia, no one replied to my messages but in Florida it worked. If someone need help with coordinates in France, i can help to get owners with you in touch. 1 Quote Link to comment

I'll change my mind if the description is changed. the mapping program I was using wouldn't take decimal minutes, so I had to convert. But Lynx should be able to get to those areas, then use his GPSr to find the proper location. I was just explaining why I was suggesting going to 63.543983 instead of 63 32.639.

I've lost track of who said what. My posts will help spread the word of who I can possibly help, and maybe they'll see this forum thread and be interested.

+Max and 99 Posted December 9, 2019 Author Share Posted December 9, 2019 I had posted about a bad, bad mistake I made trying to get Toro's name. I misread my notes, and got the wrong coords on the GPS. I know of a waymarker who may be back there in a few months, and I also posted a request for help on the two closest caches (part of a Geotour). I feel so ashamed! I wrote him a nice apology, but never heard back, so I must be in the dog house! Quote Link to comment

I am located near N30 31 W086 27 in case anyone needs me to find a location in northwest Florida, USA. I converted my name to 26 23.42367 and plotted some points in MapSource. Connecting the points into a routes I mapped out potential Waymarking areas worldwide. Reading the posts here gave me some pointers on how to find someone who might be willing to send a photo of the location so I can waymark it. Sounds like fun! Quote Link to comment
