By telephone? How do I do this by telephone?
You can request a list of peaks by calling 360-812-2154. The telephone system (an Asterisk server) will ask for your latitude and longitude, and after a two minute calculation will read you the list of peaks.
Enter your latitude and longitude in any of the formats described above, using the * key as a decimal point and ending with #; 44*0538# for 44.0538°, 4403*23# for 44° 3.23', or 440314# for 44° 3' 14". Be sure to include a leading zero when you're using the second or third form and minutes or seconds are less than ten.
The phone system only covers the continental United States, so we'll assume that the longitude you enter is west or negative and the latitude is north.
You'll also be given the option to have the system adjust your position (up to 100 feet away) to place you where it thinks the highest point is.
After computing the results, the system will read you the list of peaks. During the recitation you can hit
* 1 go back to the previous peak
* 2 repeat the current peak
* 3 skip to the next peak
* * ask the system to stop spelling the peak names as well as trying pronounce them; hit * again to start spelling
The system can also email the results in addition to speaking them (or instead of, if you hang up before it starts talking). Drop us a line with the caller ID of the phone you'll be using and the email address or addresses you want the results forwarded to.
