+Firth of Forth Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 (edited) Hello I'm a geocacher in Scotland, UK. My geocaching name converts to a Latitude of N34 78.463. To log the 'Where's in a name' cache (see )http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?ID=12627) I need to find a fellow geocacher who can take a picture of this location with his/her GPS and email it to me. This latitude crosses through many southern states, from South Carolina to southern California, and the longitude can be any value. Surely there is someone over the pond who can help me log this? You will also get to log it as a find, and needless to say, I would be happy to reciprocate for anyone whose 'handle' is around the N56 latitude. Many thanks.

+9Key Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 I'll help, but I'm not sure I understand what I need to do. Send me an email and we can work it out. Quote Link to comment
+pater47 Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 Please check those coordinates. 78 minutes? Quote Link to comment
+Sparky-Watts Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 (edited) Please check those coordinates. 78 minutes? To follow the instructions on that cache, this would have to be cut in half, to 39 minutes.....that should change things a tad, though not enough to make much difference in the location. From the cache page: As seen in the above conversion "87" is larger than "60" minutes. If this happens, as it will with some names, just divide the number in half.

+Firth of Forth Posted December 30, 2003 Author Share Posted December 30, 2003 (edited) Ok, sorry. I forgot that if the number turns out to be larger than 60, you are supposed to halve it. So the coordinates would therefore be: N34 39.463 Edited December 30, 2003 by Firth of Forth Quote Link to comment

+Team GPSaxophone Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I've already done this one with her in New Mexico. I guess this thread should be closed. Quote Link to comment
