For example, those secret silos.... I place at:<br />13T 653111 4545968, simplified to 13T65314545 ...BUT, when I peck in those digits and select “GO” ...I get the “warning out of range” msg. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714028479313834812.post-33135453853320912882018-06-09T10:53:20.624-07:002018-06-09T10:53:20.624-07:00“If you go to the online UTM lat/lon/WGS spot find...“If you go to the online UTM lat/lon/WGS spot finder , you can do the same thing, the same way. Except this time, the coordinate is (11S) 41493741.”<br /><br />I fancied myself as a functional moron, but not a complete idiot until now. <br />The 4149 and 3741 did not work for me. I get the following error: *WARNING: X (easting) is out of range [100000,899999]<br /><br />Can you spoon feed me?

Bay Area's where I grew up, neat to see that on your blog!) - being a map geek, if I might add one cool thing about aviation charts, both sectional and terminal (TACs), is that man-made structures like rail lines, electrical lines/towers, and so forth are clearly identified (hazards to safe flight, and navigational references for dead-reckoning), which adds features for terrain association that are not usually found on non-aviation maps.... They aren't natural features, but they are durable ones.... Thanks for doing your thing sir!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
