Bill93 Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 When I spoke with Dave Doyle at the Bilby tower dedication, he said NGS has benefited greatly by updating coordinates from Geocachers logs of bench marks. If I understood him correctly, they have updated coordinates from scaled to HH2 for 70,000 marks. Wow. Quote Link to comment
foxtrot_xray Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Yeah, Dave's posted on here a few times about how he checks (used to? still does?) coordinates and updates sheets. If I remember right, he took photos from here as well. Quote Link to comment
+derektiffany Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 If I remember right, he took photos from here as well. Here's some samples of photos from gc.com that have been added to datasheets (circa 2012). No clue how they got there ...
