I think they're locations of servers that the Operator plans on moving to.

hmmmm...this one:

42.3247 -71.0650

is not very far from me...methinks i'll have to check it out, though i am sure that the solution to this puzzle does not lie in visiting each of these places...

what do you all think? would it be a waste of time?

EDIT - TWO are near the corner of Clark & Diversey in Chicago, near me... another is in Elmhurst (edit - corner of George and York Road), near me again (closer actually... I'm checking all the waypoints near me to see which ones I may even check out today on lunch...)

(EDIT - Another at Kinzie & Wabash in Chicago & another on Wacker, near Quincy)

New discovery. Less likely that these are points meant for us but... look at where the Washington DC coordinate is located. MapQuest Coordinate Zoomed. That's right between the Capitol and the Washington Monument on the Mall. I doubt this is a coincidence guys. For those that don't know, the Mall is basically the center of tourism in DC, as the Smithsonian Museums, the Capitol, the Washington Monument, and many government buildings are situated around it. Uh oh.

Hmmm. Geocaching, anyone? Very Happy

Post any coordinate solves in this thread.

Very interesting location here:

http://mapper.acme.com/?lat=26.0433&long=-80.1611&scale=10

It's at a shopping mall intersection. Hmmm... Are there any game or movie stores with franchises in all of these locations?

Thats what I said, and there are over 225 coordinates, so I think that might be it.

Greetings to fellow NYCers!

I'm putting together a list of points in Manhattan, and might stop by a couple on my way home. As soon as I have a finished list of intersections, I'll post one up.

FYI to everyone else, this point is interesting in particular:
40.7583 - 73.9905

That's right near Times Square.
