Geocache Description:


 Spiromania 64 = 2^6  


It's another puzzle cache. The cache is not at the given coordinates. As has occurred earlier in this series, you'll be given several points on some spiral and the cache will be at the next point. The first several points are:

  n      VK        ECEF        DEG        MIN        SEC       W3W

.
Enter the last point into the coordinate checker the form VK eeee1 nnnn2 (spaces optional).

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

Notes:

  • To keep it simple, let the altitude at each point be 1,000 feet (304.1 not 328.1 meters).
  • The coordinates for VK and ECEF are also in meters.
  • VK eastings always end in 1,and northings in 2.
  • The precision shown is consistent with that used by the conversion sites listed below.
