Actually the coordinates resolve to an "x" ...
I didn't get an X. Maybe I just failed correctly. Either way, pretty stupid challenge =/

Hmm I've been stuck trying to fix the co-ordinates for a while. I've tried lots of combinations of shifting the decimal place, shifting the starting point for the E co-ordinates, even negative co-ordinates but I don't see any meaningful X marker. Any possible hints for what I'm doing right/wrong?

Also, some of you must have been really lucky to guess the answer, since I think it must be a city or island!

There might be an error or ambiguity with the given coordinates. Here is what I wrote in the Challenges Solved section, minus the solution itself of course:
I wonder what the *real* proper decoding of the coordinates is supposed to be. I have tried some variations of North/South, since all of the coordinates are close to the equator and it's not really clear which point is supposed to be above, or below. Oh well.

I finally solved this thanks to a couple of people and it seems that my original instincts were correct. The only thing that makes me rage was trying to fix the coordinates, I spent way too much time on that because I was fixated on one wrong idea.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but no way are these coordinates forming an X, and if they did, it'd be above the ocean, with no island or city in sight.
Any hint on what's "wrong" with the coordinates would be greatly appreciated

There is an information missing in the data which is originally given in this challenge. So that you have to fill in yourself. You can start with ShadowWidow's post in this thread, and work from there. Google Earth is useful for this challenge.
