What a difference a DATUM makes Multi-Cache
What a difference a DATUM makes
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions
in our disclaimer.
This is a 4 part multicache in a recycled area of Mt Doug
For this cache you will be required to be able to know how to change the DATUM of your GPSr. All stages (including the final) are at the exact same co-ordinates. At each stage a container will be found containing the DATUM to get you to the next stage. Your GPSr's DATUM must be changed prior to entering the co-ords.(if your personal unit does not have one of the DATUMs I have used please email me the DATUM in question and I will provide you with alternate co-ords)
In order to help preserve the area I offer the following.
Stage #1 ... rock
Stage #2 ... 3 rocks 2 trees
Stage #3 ... rock mid trail
Final ...... rotting log
PLEASE take a second glance to make sure everything is re-hidden well.
"""" BE SURE TO CHANGE BACK TO WGS84 WHEN DONE """"
It has come to my attention that Magellan units don't have all the DATUM's I have used so I have provided alternate DATUM's and co-ords for for Magellan users in 2 of the stages. While this takes away some of the 'WOW" value Garmin users will see it does nothing to the difficulty.
Your unit may not show the exact name of the DATUM but some abriveated version should be there.
