Coordinates for Grand Floridian

[blh906ohio]

I tried to put the address of The Grand Floridian in my up-to-date Garmin GPS. It had no knowledge of the road that the hotel is listed on. It ask for me to give it the coordinates of the hotel. How do you find that out ?

Geographic coordinates for the GF are 2825N 08135W according to Google Earth.

The street address for the resort is:
4401 Grand Floridian Way
Lake Buena Vista, FL 32830-1000

That address works in Google Earth and MapQuest. I'm surprised you can't get it in Garmin.

It may also be listed as just "Floridian Way", without the "Grand".
It also may want you to look in Bay Lake, FL (which is the actual town the northern part of the property is in and not Lake Buena Vista.

And in case the GPS asks for the coordinates decimalized, try Lat 28.41 Long -81.59

I shouldn't bother posting the address again, but I have a fun fact. The Walt Disney Suite is room 4401, just like the address. That was no accident

You might want to see if a Walt Disney World POI is available for your GPS. I downloaded one for my Tom Tom and now all I have to do it type in the name of any park, resort, etc in WDW and it will plan a route.
