The SunInfo Sundial Waymarking Page
'Waymarking' is described by some as a way to mark unique
locations on the planet and give them 'a voice'. While GPS technology allows us
to pinpoint any location on the planet, mark the location, and share it with
others, Waymarking provides the tools for categorizing and adding unique
information for that location. So, a waymark is a physical location on the
planet marked by its coordinates (latitude/longitude) and which contains unique
information defined by what is called its waymark category.
Sundials are a waymark category within waymarking.com and having
links to any such allows anyone who might be interested to see the locations and
characteristics of sundials right from your armchair!

Instructions for Posting a Sundial (info courtesy of
Waymarking.com):
In waymark please name the waymark, then specify state or county or
region, followed by country.
ie Scotts Sundial, Derby, Derbyshire, U.K.
or Scotts Sundial, Scottsdale, Arizona, U.S.A.
Mark location of sundial, give address or other helpful hint that will allow
others to visit.
You are allowed to post as many waymarks of this category as you like.
A photo of the sundial is required prior to waymark approval. They prefer photos
without GPS when creating a waymark. You can show GPS in photo when logging a
visit to a waymark. (You can therefore log visits to your own created waymarks)
Exact coordinates preferred or approximate if the sundial can be viewed from
that location. Please specify Exact or Approximate.
Please give any details on access times and restrictions if appropriate.
