The Enid Haupt Garden Sundial behind the Smithsonian Castle has coordinates with an accuracy of degrees and minutes (no seconds) on the face of the sundial.

The coordinates given are: N 38° 53' , W 77° 01'

With no seconds, the accuracy is not so great. Those coordinates in Google Maps appears to be at the Center for Disease Control on E Street SW.

Type of structure: Other

Difference between the post coordinates and your GPSr reading:
My GPSr reading at the sundial was N 38º 53' 18.2" , W 77° 01' 33.5" This amounts to a difference of about 1907 feet.

Reason for the coordinates: Probably decorative for the sundial.
