Look Us Up Sometime
For all you Google Earth enabled folks (which is FINALLY out for Macintosh), you can find us at: 20° 39' 30.14" N / 103° 24' 10.82" W.

Buh, the coordinates you provided didn't produce any results. I changed some of the formatting to get closer to google's example, then eventually took out the "24," as in "39 30.14' N, 103 10.82' W" which finally yielded a result ... in eastern Colorado.
So this whole move has been a big scam! Good one!

Well, if it's showing "24" for you first, that's not right. It should be 20° ("twenty degrees") then 39' 30.14" and 103° ("one-hundred three degrees") then 24' 10.82". Your entry is lacking a degrees entry in the first part, then a minutes entry in the second. I suspect that is why you'd get Colorado, although I'd think it would choke entirely with that stuff missing.
Alternatively, you can use this other guy's bookmark for Plaza del Sol...
We're in that general neighborhood, a little to the northeast.Posted by: Chris Coen at February 12, 2006 05:07 PM
I originally just copied and pasted the coordinates you provided. Taking out 24 was the only way to get anything to show up.
I downloaded that guy's bookmark. Just as with the one you provided, it made Google Earth crash.

Hot potatoes in the sunshine!
I copied and pasted it again and it worked.
Maybe it's cuz I'm on my second beer instead of 12th like last night.

Maybe it's because I already have google earth loaded on my computer or maybe crispy did something fancy with the coordinates, but I just clicked on them and bam, google earth came right up and zeroed in on your place. Pretty fuzzy though, I like your snaps better.
