China? Significance of the coordinates?

Good hunting and good eye!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

However, your "29°22’07.58” N 106°27’21.27” E" coordinates are off by 0.56 Miles.

Your placemark is in the river, 2936 feet SSE (~169 deg) of the "Flying Owl" building, [center of the blue "bow tie" section] which is at:

Latitude 29.376694° or Lat 29°22'36.10"N Longitude 106.454137° or Long 106°27'14.89"E

~~~~~~~~~~~

Since I'd like to share KML data with you, I respectfully suggest that you can minimize your coordinate errors if you:

  1. Check your Google Earth Preferences and set "Elevation Exaggeration" to minimum (0.01)

  2. Remove all tilt

  3. Click the "N" at the top of the rotation tool to make sure North is "up"

  4. Remove all tilt -- again.

  5. Put your cursor on the center of the "blue "Bow Tie" and re-check your coordinates

  6. (I expect you'll want to set a placemark -- to preserve your coordinates ...

HINT: the closer you zoom in on a point, the smaller your placement and measurement errors will be...

Again, very fine hunting!!!

I'll be contacting you via FReepmail soon... :-)
