    Ok guys, if you screw up then put in a name like Redrobes_Attempt2 Redrobes_Attempt3 etc and ill go through and delete all but the highest and remove the Attempt suffix bit.

    Also the lat longs are in decimal not minutes and seconds.

    To get them go to google maps and zoom into where you live. Click on the link labeled 'Link' in the top right which makes up a big highlighted URL, press right key to unhighlight it and put cursor on the right side of it. In there is the lat and long coords. Note them, or cut n paste them in.

    See example below for New York Central Park.
    Lat = 40.781874
    Long = -73.964767

    You dont need to be too accurate as each pixel locator is tens of miles across so a few decimal points of accuracy is all thats needed.

    Fixed you up Steel. If your happy with that second location then God knows where you are then ! You floating on a raft looking for land ( with a good internet connection ). I didn't think I would need the arctic or antarctic but maybe that was a short sighted decision...
