Geocache Description:

The listed coords are for parking, the cache is not located there!!

I got this idea off the Groundspeak forums. You will use Google Maps Street View to find clues that will give you the cache coords. You can physically go to the coords and look for the clues, but it might take you a while. The final cache is a small container with a little bushwacking off a trail and a great view.


To get the coords for this cache, you will need to travel virtually to Groundspeak Headquarters as well as the Headquarters for Garmin, Magellan and DeLorme.

Use Google Maps to enter the coords given for each location. Once there, use the street view and find the numbers needed to fill in the coords for the cache. You will be able to see the numbers from the coords given.

Cache Coords are
N 43 AB.CD5
W 070 20.EFG



Groundspeak Headquarters
N 47 36.880
W 122 20.455
*edit* The original photo has changed. The numbers to look for are visible 25 feet up the road traveling with traffic. Use the hint to be sure you have the right numbers.
A=The fourth digit
B=The fifth digit
D=The seventh digit

Garmin Headquarters
N 38 51.365
W 94 47.842
C=First Digit

DeLorme Headquarters
N 43 48.555
W 070 09.777
FROM RIGHT TO LEFT: THE WHITE SIGN
E=First digit
F=Second Digit


Magellan Headquarters
N 37 20.710
W 121 56.079
G=The first digit
