At each location, you will find a number. You might want to think about how these numbers are viewed by the people who use them, before you associate the digits with their letter sequence to complete the final co-ordinates. There is a hiccough (hiccup, Hicks up) at Guantanamo Bay. You have to add the numbers together. Enjoy your trip.
