Get Accurate Coordinates
An accurate location makes the difference between a happy player or a frustrating experience.
You will first input a Starting Location and then you will input each of the subsequent Locations.
Starting Location
This determines where the app displays the map pin associated with your Adventure. You get to choose how to direct people. That location might be any of these examples:
where players can start the Adventure on foot
a convenient parking area
a specific entrance to a large campus
the central point of an Adventure whose locations are arranged like the numbers on an old-fashioned clock
When on a desktop and using the Builder:
Enter the street address, the zip code, or latitude and longitude coordinates into the appropriate spot in the Builder.
Select “View on map.”
IMPORTANT: Drag and drop the orange map pin until it is located at your desired Starting Location. Be as precise as possible. Use the map controls to magnify the map until all the details you need are displayed.
The coordinates will update to match that new place.
There are many different coordinate formats. You can use any of the formats shown below. Include exact spacing and decimal points!
N 47° 38.938 W 122° 20.887 = DDM (Degrees, Decimal Minutes)
47.64896,-122.34811 = DD (Decimal Degrees)
N 47°38’ 56.28" W 122°20’53.22" = DMS (Degrees, Minutes, Decimal Seconds)
(Each of these locations points to one same location: our main office.)
