Benchmark In Ny

[+MREAGLEWO1]

WHEN I WENT TO NY FOR A MOTORCYCLE SHOW, I SAW THIS BENCHMARK IMPLANTED IN THE SIDEWALK CORNER WHEN WALKING TO IT. WHEN I GOT THE NUMBERS FROM THE BENCHMARK, IT DIDNT WORK. I HAVE LOST THE BENCH MARK, I WAS WONDERING HOW COULD I GET THE NUMBERS AGAIN, IT WAS BY A GAS STATION, YOU COULD SEE THE JAVITS CENTER PROBABLY ABOUT 1 OR 2 BLOCKS AWAY, IT WAS VISIBLE, ( I WAS GOING THERE)

You didn't give us much to work on. Address for the Center is where I started.

These are all near 655 W 34th, NY, NY 10001. Take your choice.

As a footnote reply, this could be a new subject.

 

Did a radial search on NGS.NOAA using coordinates N404522, W0740008 and came up with more PIDs than given above. However, when I did a search of geocache database, they were not there! Examples: KV3310, KV3311, KV3312.

Anyone want to try to explain?

Maybe it has something to do with the three examples are considered destroyed???

Yes, the GC database does not include anything that is offically recorded as destroyed by the NGS.

Nor will a radial search unless specified.

If this helps ...

It's not KV1445 which is in front of a post office and several feet above the sidewalk,

And it's not KV1444 which is not near a gas station but which I could not find yesterday and from which the Javits Center is not visible,

And it's not KV3536 which is near a gas station (in the concrete base of a sign) but which I could not find yesterday.

Could be that it is not even a listed NGS benchmark.

Did a radial search on the Javits Center N40-45.500 W074-00.100 and looked for sidewalk mounted disks between 30th St and 42nd St and 9th Ave and the Hudson River (Javits Center is between 34th and 39th and 11th and 12th). Did not see any good candidates in the Geocaching database. Best candidate is KV3536 at 11th and 30th. But I could not find that mark when I searched on 05/10/04.
