Re: Editing older contributions GPS data

Dear Landis (and Thomas),
Please update my GPS coordinates for the energy event.
http://geoimages.berkeley.edu/wwp905/html/CarlosChegado.html
From: Latitude: 38? 40' 13" N, Longitude: 9? 04' 11" W (wrong)
To: Latitude: 38? 40' 33,30" N, Longitude: 9? 03' 13,30" W (correct)
I am sorry but I got the wrong coordinates from Multimap.com.
Using Google Earth is so much easier to find the correct spot.
Sorry for this mess.
Best regards,
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Carlos Chegado
