View Full Version : I'm lost! Help me find my way home ;)
Last week’s winner was azguy! azguy, please email answers@getnats.com with your shipping details and the color choice for the IPOD.
This week, we’ve changed up the prize. We’ll be giving out a Garmin Geko 301 handheld GPS unit.

Gekos are the smallest and lightest waterproof GPS units on the market—inexpensive, with sleek designs and simple operating systems. (http://www.garmin.com/products/geko301/)
Directions are the same as last week. Answer the questions, email answers@getnats.com with the answers to the questions, and post in this thread that you’ve answered the questions. We’ll randomly choose from the correct answers and announce the winner next week.
Since the Garmin is one of those incredibly cool tools that you and all your friends will fall in love with, we’ve decided to give you some practice with it, in case you are the winner. Simply match up the programs with their co-ordinates and you’ve got the correct answer.
For instance, New York, NY, sits on a latitude of 40° 42' 51", and longitude -74° 0' 25" – and would be a match to Statue of Liberty Bucks (if there were such a program located in New York City).
There are multiple web sites out there that reverse map based on latitude and longitude, and the location of the programs can be found on the program’s web site, so the matching should be fairly easy. Of course if you had the Garmin Geko 301, it would be even easier ;)
The list of programs for this week:
1. Phoenix Forum (the NATS crew certainly hopes to see you all there!)
2. DeeCash
3. NATS
4. Braincash
5. OCCash
6. Mesmerotic
7. Intense Cash
8. SinBucks
9. Danza Bucks
10. NichePay
The list of co-ordinates for this week:
A. 45° 30' 31" , -73° 33' 15"
B. 39° 31' 37" , -119° 48' 33"
C. 39° 31' 37" , -119° 48' 33"
D. 39° 48' 55" , -105° 0' 36"
E. 42° 33' 44" , -83° 9' 17"
F. 36° 6' 56" , -115° 13' 29"
G. 33° 37' 58" , -117° 52' 31"
H. 34° 10' 36" , -118° 18' 33"
I. 40° 18' 22" , -74° 22' 31"
J. 14° 36' 34" , 121° 0' 20"

It's a matching game...
Match the coordinates to the locations and get some Geico insurance (I think that is where the Gecko commes in....I love that guy)
Anyway the coordinates represent the latitudes and longitudes (parallels and meridians for real old school folk) Da latitudes run parallel to the equator and are measured in degrees north and south... Da longitudes go from pole to pole and are measured in degrees east and west and the Geckos run all over da place and are measured in inches (excepting the reallly big ones which are measured in kilometers)
does that help :blink:

A Garmin Geko 301?
Why? So 99% of the people in our business can figure out the latitude and longitude of where they park their ass all day in front of the monitor?

Thank God that's not MY email address. ;)
The Geko totally rocks, it's got built in games, you can download street maps and shit for it, and if you ever wanted to find Evil Chris' house in order to call in a napalm strike, well, what can I say about the ease of use ;)
