Author Topic: Theatre Locations for GPS Users Greg Anderson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 766 From: Ogden Valley, Utah Registered: Nov 1999 posted 06-02-2002 10:00 AM                        For two years now I've had a GPS receiver but I rarely try the "Geocaching" thing. However, why not combine the concept of Geocaching with a fondness for movie theatres? How about a little something to help out-of-town visitors find your theatres? The theatre I visit most is Jordan Commons in Sandy, Utah. If you want to program your GPS receiver to take you there, the coordinates are: N 40 degrees 34.894 min., W 111 deg. 53.343 min. The theatre which ranks second based on how often I go there is the Century in South Salt Lake and it's here: N 40 deg. 41.995 min., W 111 deg. 53.294 min.  |  IP: Logged David Favel Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 764 From: Ashburton, New Zealand Registered: Feb 2002 posted 06-02-2002 11:24 PM                     There was an idea to incorporate this ideas with the new generation cell phones. Haven't heard what happened to that idea.  |  IP: Logged Mike Williams Master Film Handler Posts: 255 From: Knoxville, TN Registered: Feb 2002 posted 06-03-2002 12:57 PM                     Sprint PCS is coming out with that technology in some of their phones next year. If you want to learn more about it, go to developers.sprintpcs.com.  |  IP: Logged
