Pyramid Map Zoom Restriction Removed

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.

yeah i thought that too. i know of an exact pyramid location, but the pyramid icon appears to be around 5km away.

shame, i thought i was on to something...!

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

ive also looked into this and i beleive the co-ords refer to the start of the clue speech bubble only!

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

im sure they refer to the point on the speech bubble not the pyramid. thats the case for number 8 anyway.
