Dear Ed,
Dear Idyllers

I was too busy to follow all your discussions on IdyllChat but the question above draw my attention. Why? Because 
Chalet Margrit is located just a few steps away from my mother's house where I grew up.

These are the exact GPS coordinates of Chalet Margrit:
+46° 43' 41.13" N / +8° 11' 26.4" E

The satellite images on Google Earth are not brand new and probably not pinpoint sharp for that specific part of 
Switzerland. Compare the result with the very helpful an detailed service of map.search.ch:
http://map.search.ch/index.en.html

To locate Chalet Margrit, enter the following address: (street, no.) Lenggasse 30 / (zip, City) 3860 Meiringen

By the way: you can overlay many points of interest by activating all checkboxes on the left side of the aerial 
photo. Try it out!


Kind regards from Olten, Switzerland:

Stefan


Postscript addressed to the Untours staff:
You probably like the idea of publishing the GPS coordinates with the property details on untours.com. I could help 
you to get the exact coordinates. Switzerland uses an other coordinate system on the national maps, and just one hour 
ago I teached myself to convert it to GPS coordinates. ;-)
