If it’s S|S’s, it does not work …..

I use ExpertGPS for this. If you have ExpertGPS but don’t know how to do it, let me know. If you don’t have it, I’m not sure how I would get it done.

Hmmm, I just looked at that program and am asking myself…how much more money do I really want to throw at this hobby?

I guess there’s always the option of just skipping those caches. They appealed the the structural engineer’s grand-daughter, but I don’t think I got enough of those brain cells myself!

It’s paid for itself! Well, not really but it sure comes in handy. I’ve used it to solve triangulation puzzles in the field just having the laptop along. It makes quick work of it, either by projection based on bearing and distance or by projecting proximity circles to see where multipe circles intersect.

It also comes in handy for things like checking on proximity to existing waypoints, not that I can think of a reason why you might need to do that. 😈

The biggest drawbacks are cost and the fact that the sat maps seem to be getting old. But we use it at least weekly.

Nope, these are in Rochester MN.

If this is the one I’m thinking of, I solved it in less than 5 minutes using ExpertGPS while humming “I walk the line.”

Actually, you only need to “biangulate” because of the GC proximity-to-dummy-coordinate rule, but triangulation makes you extra sure.

We have a puzzle cache like this, that can be solved exactly the same way. Right Marc? Here’s how:

Zoom way in on the intersection area and drop a waypoint. The accuracy will be within a reasonably small search distance.

every time i read the subject of this thread it comes out strangulation…
