Why are their two locations for this jewel? Makes it fairly confusing when jeweling.

as if it isn't confusing already :D haha it took me over an hour to find that St. Helena one. Very sneaky putting it 25 miles or so from the coast of the island...

And would you be more mad (or madder???) if I tell you that the only thing you need to do to find St. Helena is to look for "St Helena" in the google earth search tool?

(I just figured that out after I tried every single coordinate of the 254 citations of wikipedia about "St Helena"....)

Dupe coords happens so often on wiki and google earth coords.
There's always one taken from the broader site and another for the actual landmark.
The misplaced one is usually on the city, town or tourist spot.

In this case, the one over the crater is the Elegante, while the other put on wikis is the coords of the national park (El Pinacate) as a whole.

Likewise, of the two jewels of the teotihuacan pyramid one is on the pyramid, the other just marks teotihuacan on the coords given to wikis.
Basaseachic falls may not be over the falls but over the small settlement of the same name, and so on.

Well, we have different search methods. Mine is usually just going straight from wikipedia coords, or World Heritage website. If it doesn't pop up from there I start scanning the area in 10x10 areas and then widen it if still unsuccessful.

Should've just typed it in the search bar.. well thanks for the tip.
