Dear Bruce,
Thanks for your time and your reply.
Yes !!!! your " Small white sundeck on south side of route 6A " is perfectly visible on Google Earth at
42 03'42.20" N 070 09'37.27" W
(you may copy-paste this previous line onto Google Earth).
as it also seems to fully match all your descriptions, including being just off the road south of the "Breakwater Motel".
Using decimal minutes, your position is 42°03'7033 N and 070°09'62117, which we can then easily use to compare with previous LAN results.
I had computed your position as being 42°02'3 N and 70°04'6 W.
Therefore, the difference in Latitude is 1'4 and
the difference in Longitude is 5'3,
i.e. both lie well within the +/- 2'7 and +/- 10'5 respective limits which I had computed as representing 3 Sigma uncertainties.
Congratulations again Bruce, you have done a very good job, and thanks again for sharing your results with us on NavList.
Best Regards to all from
Kermit
