The cache is not at the listed coordinates. In order to obtain the final coordinates, you will have to solve the puzzle:


The coordinates of this cache were stored on a GPS that gave some weird errors. It saved the correct coordinates, but before I could copy it, it started flashing and every time it flashed, showed some random values.

I did manage to get these flashed coords written down:

Original coordinates: S26 ??.??? E027 ??.???
1st flash: S26 57.612 E027 47.353
2nd flash: S26 53.604 E027 54.347
3rd flash: S26 50.600 E027 02.338
Last flash before dying: S26 48.598 E027 11.326


I hope you can make some sense out of it to be able to find the cache!
