I am stuck here. I have to find -40, which I found and clicked on and "nothing happened". Also trying to find 80 N, found 80, click and again nothing happened. I am in the right books too.

The trick with the coordinates is to put both coordinates together at the same point on the map and then click on that one spot.

Good luck!

I will try that. Thanks

I am also stuck with this one, mine tells me to go to 90 and 64N, I have been trying to put these together and I still cannot figure this out. Can anyone help please?

Look at the map and visually divide the map into four quarters.

The Prime Meridian is the vertical line that would run from north to south in the center of the map. The Equator is the horizontal line that would run from east to west in the center of the map.

If your first number has a negative sign it would be on the west of the Prime Meridian. If it does not have a negative sign then it would be on the east of the Prime Meridian.

If your second number has N behind it will be north of the Equator. If your second number has S behind it will be south of the Equator.

If your numbers are 90, 64N and there is no negative sign in front of the 90, then your coordinates are in the North East (upper right) quarter of the map.

The trick with the coordinates is to put both coordinates together at the same point on the map and then click on that one spot.

Good luck!

Thank You LizzieK for the info. I found it.

Please,
I don't understand "putting both cooridiates together", what exactly does this mean. Please help

Jeni, welcome to the Fish Pond. Do you know how to read a map ... or a Road Atlas? If you look up a city it may say it's located at C9 on the map. That means you find Column C and run your finger down until you are on the 9 coordinate.
... Does that help?

After I wrote that I got it 128.42N,
Ha!
Thanks though

Hi Jeni,
When you run your cursor over the map there are always two coordinates showing at the tip of your cursor. They change as you move your cursor. You have to move your cursor to the place on the map where the two coordinates you got from the books will match the ones that are showing beside your cursor. Good luck!

Can anyone out there help me? I tried Lizzie's suggestion and centered in on the two codes. Ex: 162 and 24S.

162 (left number/West) 1 1/2 inch gap 24S (right number/East)

Clicked all the way from 162.0 over to 24.0 with no luck.

Thanks so much.

One is a north to south number. The other is an east to west number. So, go down to 24S and then go up or down to get to 162. The 162 is the east west number and if it has a dash in front of it, that means that it is a negative 162, not the positive 162. Hope this helps, took me forever, and I thought I could read a map. I just can't tell you which is north or south. Good luck.

Oh my gosh I got it. Thank you so much. It ended up being the two numbers together. Ex: 162 and 24S the Magic spot ended up being 162.24S. Doing a Happy Dance. lol

I struggled with this too. But with a minute and half left in my game I finally got it. I realized that when I scrolled over the coordinates that once I found the first number (mine was -166) then I went down to the next one (32S) while staying on the same line of -166 until it read -166,32S. I didn't realize at first that this was a comma and not a decimal point. Hope this help someone. Find your first number exactly as it appears as a whole number then staying on that same line scroll down directly north or south based on your next coordinate. That is how you put the two together.
