    Re: Point Wild location

    Robin, although the positions are given as degrees with seven decimals

    "The USGS gives the following coordinates:
    Cape Belsham: -61.0833333,-54.8833333
    Point Wild: -61.1,-54.8666667 ",

    I would say that those values are directly calculated from

    Cape Belsham -61°5', -54°53'
    Point Wild       -61°6', -54°52'

    so they are not more precise than +/- 0.5'
