Its 'off road' either from Coronado Drive or S Gulfview Boulavard Clearwater Beach Florida.

close by address:

117 S GULFVIEW BLVD
CLEARWATER BEACH FL 33767-2441


Why??

With respect to your own organisation, I'm trying to buy a cheap GPS but the wheels are starting to come off the deal.

I just wanted to know where I was dealing with!

good luck! (The 'why' was curiosity). The elusive 'cheap' GPS - wish we could get some as well!

Dammmit that was a lot more difficult than it looked..all i could come up with was four bearings and distances from airports (3.7m e of Clearwater, 8.4m ESE of St Petersburg Clearwater, 15.6m E of Tampa)

I know your question was answered Greg but that was interesting......what did you use to find it GPS4less?

Sheer brilliance!!!

And a little help from Mapsource Metroguide USA

I think that's what I would have used (if I had a copy loaded into my PC!).

Just checked it on my USA streets and trips and it shows the coordinates being right on Coronada drive as apposed to just off it as shown on Mapsource. Address returned from USPS doing a zip code search on 116 as the nearest address was 116 CORONADO DR
CLEARWATER FL 33767-2428

Best

Hmm......I thought when i read Greg's post 'That'll be easy... a quick search and up it'll pop', but oooo no....way more tricky than that and it surprised me....there are a lot of commercial progs that will do it but they are all really expensive....so i tried the US geological survey (common sense said it was an eastern american location) and got close.......finally found the rough area by looking it up on an anorak's gps coords airport lookup site.

I tried all sorts of searches for a decent conversion site but there doesnt seem to be one...there are plenty that will convert the lat-long coords into other formats, and lots that will change an address into lat-long coords but none that did the obvious and look up a location from the coords.

Odd....mind you, I don't spose there's much call for looking things up arse-about face like that.

So what's the club discount then?

I think I`ve been there. It looks like its next to the roundabout (the only one I ever saw in the US and to which mericans go visit on Sundays).
I dont remember any shops at that particular position.
