GPS Flower Search

At this time, only about 62% of searchable flowers have a precise gps location available. This feature is a work in progress. Also keep in mind that the gps coordinates record the camera location where the photo was taken, which in most cases is very close to the actual flower location. Camera gps coordinates can be slightly to somewhat inaccurate, for example, when tree cover is particularly dense.

You can search flower locations in the Park by either gps coordinates in DMS format (degrees, minutes, seconds), e.g. 44° 47' 43.818" N 91° 30' 49.314" W, or in DD format (decimal degrees), e.g. 44.795505, -91.513698 (the minus sign signifies West of the Prime Meridian). DMS format will be converted to DD format using: latitude = degrees + (minutes/60) + (seconds/3600) and longitude = -{degrees + (minutes/60) + (seconds/3600)}.

Some reference locations in the Park are as follows:
1. The far end of Putnam Drive (where it enters the residential area): (44.802384, -91.483565) 44° 48' 8.582" N 91° 29' 0.834" W
2. Putnam trail end (near the State Street overpass): (44.794510, -91.495583) 44° 47' 40.236" N 91° 29' 44.099" W
3. Bottom of the staircase (that leads up to the McPhee Center): (44.796078, -91.501608) 44° 47' 45.881" N 91° 30' 5.789" W
4. The far western section of the Park: (44.796967, -91.523282) 44° 47' 49.081" N 91° 31' 23.815" W
5. The meadow section of the Park: (44.795299, -91.513932) 44° 47' 43.076" N 91° 30' 50.155" W

At the bottom of the staircase to McPhee, 1 second of latitude is approximately 101 feet and 1 second of longitude is approximately 72 feet.
