Battleship! Northward Bound Bug

This bug is supposed to travel north only. Basically, you should only place it back into a cache that has a latitude that is greater than the cache you removed it from. See full description for details.

The fleet has set sail and are headed to the far corners of America if not the world! This bug and it's three partner bugs wish to travel in different cardinal directions. Hopefully, you did not pick one up and take it hundreds of miles in the wrong direction before reading the instructions!

This particular bug, a battleship from the popular game, wishes to travel north. As the description states, it is to only be replaced into a cache that has a latitude greater than it's last stop.

Please only move this bug if you can follow the goal. I am interested in seeing wether or not this will be successful, and where the bugs end up. Sorry to lay down a ton of rules, but there are plenty of bugs that have no goal, and I wanted to create a set that had a specific goal to see how far I can get them from each other.

How can I tell if the new cache lies north of the last one?
-Simply compare the north coordinates of the two caches. Treat the entire north coordinate as a number (for example, N 35 47.012 becomes 3,547,012). If the coordinate of the new cache is greater than the old one, the cache most likely lies to the north.

Can I move the bug east/west over a long distance?
-Sure. Just make sure that you are still moving north, if only by a little. You can take the bug with you from Tennessee to California, then back east to New York, but only if the longitude (north coordinate) increases at each destination.

Can this bug be moved with it's partners to the same cache?
-Yes, but only in pairs, and only if the new cache fits the requirements for both bugs. Say you take the North and West bugs and place them into the same cache. In that case, the new cache must be both north and west of the old one. North and south bugs (and east and west bugs) cannot be moved together.

What if a bug reaches the equator, prime meridian, etc?
-It would be great if the bug successfully traveled this far! If one does happen to cross over into a different hemisphere of the globe, simply keep it traveling in the same direction. At some point I may decide to recall the bugs or change their goal, but only if necessary.

Oops. I live in Florida, and picked up this bug somewhere in Canada and got it home before reading the description. What should I do?
-Some people consider it bad form to mail a bug, and if you cannot possibly help it continue along it's path, you can (aside from being ashamed of yourself for practicing poor geo-manners) just place it in a cache where it should continue as planned.

I'm hoping this works out. If the laminated tag with instructions is missing or damaged, please email me and let me know right away! Thanks!
