OK. I don't intend getting too lost on the CF, and I realise it is not a 'back woods' trail and all that.
But I was just playing with my new phone, a Galaxy S8 and two location related things have me puzzled.
Q1.
I suppose reading the recent threads on people getting lost (and Yes I know that's a really hard to do on the CF), got me thinking about a handy safety feature of using my phone.
There must be a way to show my exact location (Latitude / Longitude).
For example, if one had to call for help, it would be kinda useful to give an accurate Lat Long location.
Well it has me foxed. Can't work it out.
Just use google maps I suppose....
I'm 600 m North of that weird junction, next to the bridge..........by the farm..........
Q2.
Another Lat Long related question.
OK, OK so I'm bored and looking for things vaguely Camino related to do!
I was looking at some old Camino photos checking the 'info' for picture quality compared to my new phone etc.
New phone is much better
And then noticed the Location is given in Lat Long.
Aha!
Here's a bit of fun to while away the time..........
One can post the Lat Long into google maps and see the exact location that the photo was taken!
If only the right data format is used......
Any idea which bit of this data gets posted into google maps?
I have tried every permutation and end up in Eastern Europe of the Middle East.......
Both wonderful places in their own right of course........
But not the ideal locations to look down upon El Acebo.......
Ah! Afternote. I finally worked out the syntax.
On google maps this is entered as.
42 29 17.9, -6 25 17.9
