And next the Google mapping: 66_geo_mapping.jpg
The following side-by-side comparison should be enough to illustrate the lack of convergence between what the Phillips 66 map portrays and what we wil…
Sure, I don’t think that anyone would doubt this. Of course, that’s only when you anachronistically use modern mapping solutions, rather than the map …
If there were anything at all that could be read into the spacing, I would not expect it to be intentional. What I could imagine is that he started of…
Hi @DMW I’m so glad that you did point me back to your actual write-up, as it prompted me to re-visit the entirety of the presentation of your argum…
There are also other, even cheaper, routes to follow if you wanted to put in the effort. Were this feature on this private land to have been constru…
Thanks for that, @DMW. I should have thought to just look at your write-up in the first place, but it was kind of late for me when I was thinking abou…
I was specifically asking @DMW as I am currently interested just in where the point lies on the map we were given, as located using only a compass and…
Just out of interest, @DMW, I see from your write up that you interpreted the candidate of 3 3/8 inches along the 10th “radian” as pointing somewhere …
Visualisation through plotting is a good next step. I shied away from it only because I was reaching minimal candidate sets and so plotting by hand re…
Hi @coder1987. Just wanted to return one more time because today has left me thinking about, and re-evaluating, my beliefs around the solvability of…
Yeah, thanks for the ride @coder1987. It’s been fun (was gonna say “a blast”). I should probably turn off my notifications now and leave you alone.
Your code, @coder1987, models your assumptions and I am more than confident it does so admirably.
Perhaps we need to try some control examples. Pick a number of features on the map that are marked. Use the correct scale and measure their bearing an…
In 1970 you couldn’t convert a Phillips 66 into GPS mapping to pin point a cow’s watering hole in the middle of a field. You could though, as you say,…
