Geocache Description:


Find a cache in FORTY TWO (42) different Latitude and Longitude combinations.

Latitudes run North & South 0 to 90
Longitudes run East to West from 0 to 180

This covers the entire planet, although there are large sea areas where there are not caches.

To put this into perspective, Australia's ranges (based on geocaches) are as follows:
Most Northerly range = Cape York (Cape York Peninsula, Queensland) S10°41.269 E142° 31.896.
Most Southerly range = South East Cape (Tasmania) S43° 36.683 E146° 49.566
This is a range of 34 Latitudes and 5 Longitudes and a total of 170 combinations

Most Easterly range = Cape Byron (Byron Bay, New South Wales) S28° 38.046 E153° 38.264
Most Westerly range = Steep Point (Shark Bay, Western Australia) S26° 08.650 E113° 09.503
This is a range of 3 different Latitudes and 41 different Longitudes and a total of 123 combinations

This is basically the same as a DT grid but for Longitude and Latitude.
