Just a request:
        In the future is it possible to please use coordinates that
'GOOGLE MAPS' can use..
When I pasted in Greg's coordinates "GPS Co-ordinates: 43.9292
78.9812 " too Google Maps, I got out my passport and my International
driver's license and packed my bags for KAZAKHSTAN...  Hmmm! a little
more than a half hour East of Toronto me thinks.
        I had to do a manual search of the maps and qoogle the local
Golf Course for it's Postal Code . Google Maps will take a Postal
Code quite nicely.
                        "L1M 1T4"
Either that or divide the decimal number into 60 to get 43 55 45N, 78
58 52W. which IS usable by Google.
        Otherwise it's fine for GPS's to be programed but not good to
plan a trip; I see a lot of directions given that way and it's a bit
of a bother to recalculate.

Thanks!
                                David (dsl82westy)
