Pyramid Map Zoom Restriction Removed

Postby rusty13 » Mon Aug 06, 2007 12:00 pm

Hey guys, had a bit of a look at the code embedded within the pyramid map. I managed to remove the zoom restriction, but unfortunately, when I zoom in, I dont think the location of the pyramids are accurately placed, since one of them is in the middle of the sea lol. Any suggestions?

Had a look at this a while ago, I think the pyramids are set to a tolerance on the map. If they move away (they do move) from within this tolerance they are re-set to a map reference. The map references seem to have no exact relation to their corresponding pyramid location and so cannot be relied upon to be accurate.

A while a go I too discovered the GPS coordinates behind the pyramid maps. I couldn't resist plotting the pyramid I've been searching for, but alas, it was at least 25 km from the location where it should be :cry:

Still searching, but without any luck

They refer to the placement of the pyramid icons -- but indeed are very unprecise
