jack
thank you very much
& delighted we can be together this way on our distant journeys
i think elephants & other giants do this too with ultrasound & such
the coords of njnyus lovingly hand cobbled from the only credible map i can
find
http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?z=18&n=4483585&e=590032&s=200
not a bad map for orientational use also i would say
are
n lat 40 deg 29 min 28 sec & decimal 069
w long 73 deg 54 min 01 sec & decimal 071
tho only the integral degminsecs are likely to be reliable
perhaps you can gauge them better using your formats tho
than i can with my primitive toys alone
let me also hasten to correct my mention of the 5 oclock direction in the
previous message below
i meant to say the 7 oclock direction at that point
you can tell my clocks are rusty
