Expedtions

Coordinates
Sorry to hear about your co-ordinate confusion. Actually, for Geocaching, they seem to prefer DDD MM.ddddd'. I found that there was a button on one site that would convert it, but it did it in a less than helpful manner, so I just switched my GPS over to that format, since peeron offers the hashpoints in that format. APR will be happy to complain about his GPS's input method since he just learned after a year how to enter coordinates instead of having to point on the map! Jiml 02:58, 22 April 2010 (UTC)
