I don't understand why New York has a pirate skull with numbers in the eye sockets: http://i.imgur.com/xNnJvU7.png



Go to the coordinates in the eye sockets, and it takes you to another landmark with coordinates.


Didn't seem to work for me.


The coordinates that are indicated in the landmarks are a bit hard to read sometimes, and you have to piece them together. The skull in New York is pointing to: (-15.36, 15.90). After searching for that location, zoom in on the green arrow, and you should see a piece of ham that is pointing to: (-21.53, 46.05)

The coordinates at the sword that comes next are also ambiguous. You have to infer that the 9 in the handle is indicating that the first number is 9.81.


Oh, I see - thank you!


There's a similar one in Amsterdam.

Seems to be the only "special" icon in NL though.
