Why posting fake coordinates?

La Grande Roccia (The Big Rock) 1

I'm referring to this site because I know it, and I have the rights coordinates that leads to a place 3,8 Km. distant, but also the other coordinates that I've verified are wrong (Pietra Scritta and Dolmen della Biscia). Why there send people to get lost in the woods? To me it's way better do not post any coordinates than posting wrong coordinates.
It's this a problem of the entire site or only regarding the area of Mount Beigua?

P.s.: Excuse me for my english, but I've never studied it.

Your english is perfectly understandable SoS .

Thanks for the more accurate co-ordinates .
It would be good to get the same for Pietra Scritta and Dolmen della Biscia .

Not all co-ordinates /grid refs are accurate . Pre gps and GE data are often wrong , including those on "professional " sites like Canmore , Coflein , Pastscape and their European counterparts , and maybe should be taken as a rough guide .

Hi SoS

I hadn't yet signed up to TMA when Tommy Leggy (top avatar, that) made these Italian posts... but I recall thinking "Wow, but he's from Yorkshire... why aren't Italians doing this?"

But the point is Cope's vision - as I understand it - is basically inclusive of anyone who gives a damn about who we are as a species - worldwide. If you have better, local knowledge of Italian sites please share it. Better still, build upon Tommy's fieldwork and help visitors get to experience Italy's prehistoric treasures.
