From the White Sands web site:
GPS Coordinates for obelisk (exact GZ) = N33.40.636 W106.28.525
Google Earth fanatics (myself included) know how picky GEarth is about entering coordinates into the Fly To box. A copy/paste of the coordinates above won't work, but these two will:
33 40 6.36 N 106 28 5.25 W
33 40 6.36 N 106 28 52.5 W
(I'm not sure if the longitude is 5.25 seconds, or 52.5 seconds)
And, neither lat/long will place you dead set on the target. 5.25 is off by about 3/4 of a mile and 52.5 is off by about 2/3 of a mile. Copy and paste:
33 40 36.29 N 106 28 32.69W
into the fly to box and you are within a few feet.
