Brittany gps waypoints

foggy said:

Hope to do a bit of walking in Brittany (around Quimper)
this summer. I have the "AA Road Atlas of France 2003
(1:250,000)". However, I can't calibrate map for gps as
the grid on the atlas is not in DD.MM.SS format. Just
wondering (long shot I know!!) if anyone has waypoint for
"Cathedrale St-Corentin" in Quimper or any point shown on
1:250,000 map within 20kms of it. My best guess from a
larger scale map is:

N47°58'47.63" W004°47'34.61" Waypoint QUIMPER

Thanks for any help. foggy

Foggy,

www.multimap.com lets you find any spot in Europe and gives
you lat/long for it. It's really easy!

To be more helpful (!), central Quimper is 47:59:43N
(47.9953),
4:05:53W (-4.098). I don't know exactly where the cathedral
is, but I;m sure you won't have trouble finding it,
especially if you know what street it's on

And here's an even more exact answer, now I've found the
cathedral's address!:

47:59:44N (47.9956), 4:06:09W (-4.1025)
