Introduction, notes and warnings on GPS
Introduction: Members of the Alumni Association hiked every trail, visited every Nobscot tentsite, cabin, lodge, Lean-to, pavilion, well pump and latrine. We captured GPS coordinates and measured distances from the parking lot to provide you with this GPS coordinate table. The accompanying image shows the scope of the GPS coordinates captured.
How to use GPS
How to use GPS
Enter the complete Latitude and Longitude below, separated by a comma, into your mobile phone's GPS mapping application (Google Maps, Apple Maps, etc.) and set it to show a 'Satelite'View'. This will show approximate distance and bearings to a location of interest. Note: double check the coordinates you entered. Even a minor error in entering a site’s coordinates will result in a completely incorrect location, possibly miles off.
Note: The Nobscot tree canopy results in measured GPS coordinates being approximate and is too thick to visually identify most trails, cabins or campsites when using most commercially available GPS mapping
Warning: This material is provided as a reference and to help you enjoy Nobscot. There may be inaccuracies so never rely solely on a single source of navigation for your safety.
