Actually being a yachtsman and a geocacher, I do those conversions from 
time to time and as it happens, Google Earth understands both, plus some 
other formats.  Even after the recommended conversion, GE takes me to 
the same spot.

I suppose what I was saying was howcum the location Peter gave is a 
corner of a field with no hives that I can see.

Are you on a boat?  GE puts you in Dering Harbor.
