OK! So this isn't money related but maybe someone here can help me accomplish this task.

I am looking for someone in the Kenora, Ont. area who has a GPS (or has access to one though a friend).

If this is you, please e-mail me and I'll explain the why and what.

Thanks for your time.

Sorry! I guess that was a little ambiguous!

I'm refering to the Global Posisioning System.

Thanks

Try calling your local armoury on a Tuesday night. A large number of people there would have one.

I guess that I'm still not being clear. I am not looking to get my hands on a GPS. I already own one. Kenora is about 1170 km west of me.

What I am looking for someone to help me complete a cache from the GeoCache site http://www.geocaching.com . The name is "Where's in a name". The details can be found at http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?pf=&ID=12627 . The object is to take your handle and convert it to a numerical value using a telephone key pad. So my handle converts to

94483695

This number is then made into a co-ordinate: 94 degrees 48.3695 minutes using map datum WGS84. This can be North, South, East or West. (Since 94 degrees North or South seems to be on a different planet, that leaves me with East or West.)

Second step: A second user goes to this co-ordinate and takes a picture of his/her GPS showing this co-ordinate on his unit.

W94:48.369 is about 20 km Kenora, Ont. so I am looking for someone who lives in the area or may be traveling through there who could take a minute to pull over at that location and snap a few shots for me.

Sorry for being so long winded but the request with out any explaination seemed to be too confusing.
