Brampton Maps Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Cache-tech: Greetings from Geocaching.com

I have been looking at caches in the area that have been temporarily disabled for a while now and it looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache.
When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to have it reposted, it will be no problem. Just drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your “My Cache Page” and clicking the link (Mine) across the top and then click on this cache.

I will be more than happy to take a look at your cache again to see if it is still is within the guidelines of the Geocaching.com website for cache placement and posting.

I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,
Cache-tech

Geocache Description:

The Posted Coordinates are not for the cache.

This is the second of a series of two caches that will introduce you to an interesting web application called Brampton Maps.



The 'regular' version of Brampton Maps is much more advanced than Brampton Maps Lite, but it allows the user much more functionality, as the map is completely interactive.

Brampton Maps is developed and administrated by the GIS Services division of Information Technology at the City of Brampton.

In order to find the real coordinates for this cache, you must go to WWW.BRAMPTONMAPS.CA and answer the following questions using the 'regular' version of Brampton Maps. You will need to download the Adobe SVG plugin in order for the maps to run properly. It's a free download from the Adobe website.


A. What is the estimated size in ac of 30 Loafer's Lake Lane? (truncate value to two decimal places)

B. What did the street number for 20 Elizabeth St North used to be in 1877? Divide by 1000

C. Find the business, 'PRO-DJ SERVICE'. Find the year it was established and divide by 1000

D. What is the average household income for the area of Brampton within 120m of 7644 Mississauga Rd. Divide by 1000 - Due to changes on the Brampton Maps site, the answer for D is 82.181

E. How many GO Stations are there in Brampton?

REAL COORDINATES: N43° 28.452 + X.XXX W079° 74.497 - YY.YYY

A + B + C = X.XXX

D / E = YY.YYY

The hints below will help you with the website, not with the hiding spot.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
