Just out of curiosity, does anyone know the GPS Coordinates for the HDR? I'm trying to find it on Google Earth, but I can't find it without the Latitude / Longitude Coordinates. I remember that someone posted a satellite pic of the Gulch, but I couldn't find it. Any info is appreciated.
Mucho Gusto :wink:

You can find it yourself....just look for Park Morazon, you can't miss that big dome and then you can find the HDR just a block south! :P

9 55 55 .20 N
84 04 47 .04 W

approximate of course. depends on where your mouse is.

Under "Layers" on the left hand column of Google Earth click on "Google Earth comments" or something like that, about the fifth box down and the Hotel Del Rey and other sites will be shown on the map/photo.

Thanks to this help I was now able to find HDR, HP, IDEM & ZB on Google Earth. Anyone have any idea of where Hotel de Edon is or its GPS Coordinates?

Pull out the Map on the front of the VIP page and trace it out, you should find it.

It's not on that map. It's further North than what that map shows.

I was thinking that I would talk to the owners about the color of the DR (pink) :? . I think it would be more appropriate in this time and age to paint the outside blue to represent viagra. :lol:

Just as a helpful hint with google earth you can add place marks then send them as a .KMZ file to anyone. By double clicking the sent file google earth will launch and take you to the place mark. The person you are sending to must have google earth installed too.

To do this open google earth - click on the add place mark button- drag it to the location - on left pane click ok to save the place mark. Right click the place mark and save the file. Then you can attach the file and email it. You can rename the place mark also by right clicking it.


Hope this helps.
