Another Cool GPS Project: Degree Confluence

Posted by Hemos on from the fun-things-to-do-outside dept.

Omicron writes "Not too long ago, there was an article here on a game called Geocaching. Since that time, I've gotten really involved in the game, and because of that involvement, I found another cool project during a mailing list discussion. It's called The Degree Confluence Project and the goal of the project is to have people visit and photograph almost every integer intersection of latitude and longitude on the face of the planet. I've already found three of them."

    we had erect a huge piramid at each point so that future civilisations can marvel at how accuratly we managed to spread these structures out, and wonder why we did it. Only we will know that we did it to waste time because we had nothing better to do.

    How many of these points are there? How long would it take to get all of them?

    Offtopic: What is with these sad bastards who have nothing better to do than reload slashdot every 10 sec just so they can post an inane message about how they were first to post. To those people, Get a Life!
