+GroundClutter Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 Ok, I think I would like to try this cache http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?wp=gc3153 My name comes out to 47 34.32 Now this is probably a really stupid question, but, how do I find out where that is?

+canadazuuk Posted September 5, 2003 Share Posted September 5, 2003 convert it properly and plug it into mapquest... this is a very basic method Quote Link to comment
+Olar Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 What you have to do now is choose between using your coords as latitude or longitude. 47° longitude is in the middle of the Atlantic so latitude is best choice. If you look at a digital map like MS Streets & Trips of North America you will see that N47°34.32 cuts through Nfld., N.B., Que., and Northern Ont. then continues on across northern US. If you want to stay Canadian then you will have to hook-up with someone in those provinces who can possibly visit your latitude coord and complete the cache requirements usually a picture or two. Looking at my S&T map of all Cdn caches I would say your best bet is a cacher in either St. John's, Nfld. area or Bathurst, N.B.
