Thanks for hkw0704's answer, He has stated everything for me. Thanks

To foreveryoung123
If you read chinese you can visit this web site,there are a tool can help you to convert the coords. In fact I go back to check this cache on September 17 and everything is good, more people visit here, new path is complete here, no honeycomb here and of course the cache still here. So I think is time to enable it, but my new description is not ready for update it.

by the way, the coords from ddd°mm.mmm' to ddd.ddddd°
N23 56.519 E120 48.988 = N23.94198 E120.81647
N23 56.394 E120 48.690 = N23.93990 E120.81150
N23 56.399 E120 48.720 = N23.93998 E120.81200

To answer instead of owner:
1) There are two parking lots in front of the entry, one is public, it's free of charge, the other one is on private land, it's charged, I've been there twice and parked in public parking lot, no any charged. A sign in front of public parking lot: (visit link)
2) The coordinates of WGS84/dd°mm.mmm' is not only for Garmin MapSource, but also default format of Geocaching using. I guess you may use it in PaPaGo? there are many applications or web sites provide transform coords function, or you can transform by your calculating machine, only one rule: 1 degree = 60 minutes = 3600 seconds.

Regards

I know you disable this cache; however I read from news this is a good place to be and parking fee is kind of argument somehow. Would you please convert the waypoint into other format other than mapsources only? Thank you.
