+TJAMs Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Hello! I wanted to know how I would change my N & E coordinates to N & W coordinates? I'm located in the US and when I got the coordinates to submit a cache I didn't realize at the time they had to be N & W. Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 If you go to the page for your unpublished cache and click the Edit Listing button at the top of the page, then you should be able to edit the coordinates for the cache and change E to W. Quote Link to comment
+TJAMs Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 When I did that it told me it has to be W for US and Canada. Quote Link to comment
+NanCycle Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 When I did that it told me it has to be W for US and Canada. Well, that's what you want, isn't it? What exactly is the problem? Are you trying to say that it told you it has to be W, but wouldn't change it? A little more information from you would make it easier for someone to help with the answer. Quote Link to comment
+Chrysalides Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Not sure what the issue is, but just a thought, did you set your home coordinates in your profile correctly? It doesn't have to be exactly where you live, but somewhere within 5 to 10 miles would be good. It is one of the things reviewers look at, I'm not sure if the submission form checks that.

Keystone Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I see from the OP's unpublished cache page that the longitude was edited successfully from E to W, and that the OP's home coordinates are just a few miles away. The page is now awaiting review. Thank you to those who are helping! Quote Link to comment

+TJAMs Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Yes, thank you everyone! Got it all figured out. I appreciate so many responses to help Also what happened was I used an app on my cellphone to obtain the coordinates. Those coordinates were DMS using N and E. When submitting the cache it required my coordinates to be N and W. I didn't know if it was going to alter the location or if I had to convert my coordinates. If I tried using N & E when submitting the cache it would give me an error stating the coordinates have to be N and W since I'm located in the US. Quote Link to comment
