No, but Richard Hardwick is in the process of compiling them: go to http://users.skynet.be/watermael/gps/50358.html to see what he has put together so far, and if you can contribute more data, get in touch with him directly via his site.

Yes – you can hard wire any NMEA compliant GPS unit to your PDA and download coordinates directly to PLog or PDensity.

In order to fully benefit from uploading geocoded images to Flickr, you need to enable the "Import EXIF location data" option in your Flickr privacy settings.

GPS coordinates on a Chart tell you where that fishing area, wreck or buoy is located. For example: The coordinate for the Hudson Canyon Tip is 39 degrees, 40.956 minutes Latitude and 72 degrees, 28.464 minutes Longitude written as: 39 40.956’/72 28.464’. Every degree is divided into 60 minutes. Each minute is divided into 10ths, 100ths and 1000s of a minute. Captain Segull’s Charts uses only degrees and minutes.

There are different views on this. Some regret the not-so-very-distant days of few pilgrims and rudimentary facilities; others welcome the emergence of a mass pilgrimage on foot in Europe to compare (albeit still feebly) with those to Mecca and Benares, pointing out that if you want a solitary walk, whether religious or otherwise, there are plenty of places left.

Why don’t genealogists use the simple terms “primary source” and “secondary source?”

Yes. Version 8.0 (and above) of the IntelliGolf Eagle edition software includes our new IntelliGPS? "desktop" entry feature. It will allow you to enter the GPS coordinates of key target destinations into IntelliGolf prior to starting your round of golf. These include the 200, 150, 100 yard/meter markers, the front, center, and back of the Green, and up to three (3) custom fairway locations per hole (e.g. lake, sand, tree, etc).

Camino is a free, open-source web browser for Mac OS X and is based on the Mozilla codebase. It is small, fast, and easy-to-use, and offers many advantages over other browsers, such as the ability to block pop-up windows. Read more about the browser at the Features page or on our main Project page.

Use the up and down navigation key (or trackball for BlackBerry users) to select Show Place Coordinates

You can get latitude/longitude by hovering your mouse over the area and looking at lat/long in your bottom status bar. If you can't see the coordinates at the bottom of the window you will need to do the following: Open Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, click Internet Options, and then click the Security tab. Refresh your browser window.

Most long distance travelers send self-addressed food boxes from home to outposts along the way (listed in the PCTA's Town Guide, Wilderness Press PCT guidebooks and Ray Jardine's PCT Hiker's Handbook) to be held until their arrival. A few start with a food box and a spare gear/clothes box, sending these one re-supply stop ahead, buying locally to replace what they use along the way. Postage can be less expensive this way and there is more flexibility and less need for a support person at home.

Answer: The GPS is the Genealogical Proof Standard, which all genealogists use to evaluate the quality of research and the reliability of conclusions. Question: Why don’t genealogists use the simple terms “primary source” and “secondary source”? In school I was taught to use these to decide whether sources were reliable. Answer: Determining reliability is not a simple matter.

When the US defence department developed the GPS satellite system, it was meant for military applications - to help pinpoint the exact position of a soldier in the field, for example. That system is extremely accurate, within something like 50 feet. The DoD didn't want to give that capability to the enemy, so they scrambled that signal. The signal that's available to the public has been deliberately tweaked to provide a position within about 200 feet.

The start and stop coordinates refer to the entire chromosome, where position 1 is the first nucleotide of the left arm of the chromosome. The Watson strand is defined as running 5' to 3' from the left to right telomere, and the Crick strand is complementary to it. The first letter of each name is 'Y', denoting 'yeast'. The second letter denotes chromosome number (I=A, II=B, etc.). The third letter denotes the chromosomal arm where each locus resides: L for left and R for right.
