Yes, thank you I am very aware it is a lat/long. Did anyone actually
search Google Maps/Earth for the view?


I don't know.

Orville Fairbairn seems to have answered your question
perfectly. Did you actually read his post?

I do and did and I have no idea what that runway markings are. They
appear to be painted, not VOR.

Yes, not VOR, not a helo, 24 rectangular boxes splined about a central
foci on an accessory runway. ?????

Google Maps provides a better resolution than Earth as does Bing.

you ask a question and then get ****ty..? do you get a *lot* of good
responses that way?

here's a thought - since you knew you were sending everyone off on a
stupid rabbit hunt anyway - why not say in your OP, "I found something
that looks odd sitting on an unused runway in Yuma - anyone
know..?" VASTLY different than being the jerk you are now, and the
first 10 replies would have been to your true question, instead of
wasted trying to figure out WTH you really wanted to know.

How about you worded your question poorly? You didn't ask what the
image is. You just gave a series of numbers and asked what the are. You
were told several times. If you had asked what the picture shows you
might have received a better answer.

They are standard runway markings that is tenths of the magnetic heading

Approacing the marking 24 you are on rough magnetic heading of 240 deg etc

On Bing.com maps it appears to be painted on the tarmac. Perhaps a helo
test site?
