Geocache Description:

La main dans le sac...

English follows...
En juillet 2014, nous sommes alles faire une serie de cache a l'auto dans Portneuf / St-Augustin. Alors que nous etions sur le rang du petit Capsa, un drole de vehicule nous a croise. C'etait un Google Street View car!

A la fin mars 2015, je me suis apercu que nous etions desormais visible sur street view alors que Manu me tendait une cache a signer. Nous avons vraiment ete pris la main dans le sac!

Votre mission: retrouver notre geo-voiture.
Quand vous l'aurez localisee, placez vous a l'arrière de cette ci. Street Map affiche alors un set de coordonnees en decimal dans la ligne d'adresse. Selectionnez et copiez le signe "@" , la longitude et la latitude (incluant la virgule), puis entrez ces chiffres dans le checker pour obtenir avec certitude l'emplacement veritable de la cache.
exemple : @xx.xxxxxx,yy.yyyyyy
Pour plus de detail, voir l'image exemple

Mise a jour 24 novembre 2019:

Google change constamment l'angle qui permet de voir la voiture de l'arriere.  J'ai donc changé la solution pour la rendre plus permissive.

Vous devez désormais entrer les 5 premiers chiffres apres le point, plutot que tout les chiffres apres le point.  J'espere que ca me permettra de ne plus avoir a changer la solution a tout les 2 mois.



English
In july 2014, Manu and I took on a serie of park and grab along the "rang du petit capsa" in St-Augustin, close to Quebec city. As Manu gave me a cache to sign, a funny looking car came along. It was a Google StreetView car!

By the end of march 2015, I just realized that our car, with the both of us, is now visible on Street View. We really were caught in the act!

Now, your mission: Find our geo-car!
When you'll have find it, place yourself slightly at the back. Notice a set of decimal coordinate in the address bar. Now cut the "at" (@) sign and these coordinates (including the comma), and put them in the checker, to confirm with certitude that you did found us. You'll be rewarded with the real coordinate where you'll find the cache for you to sign.
example : @xx.xxxx,yy.yyyy
For more details, see the example image I uploaded

update nov. 24th 2019

Goggle constantly changes the exact position people have to use to be "at the back" of the car.  I have now changed the solution to use only the 5 first digits after the point.  This change should make the solution more permissive and keep me from having to change the solution each two months.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
