Parking Locations in Waikiki
Many on this site are validated partially or fully by local restaurants/clubs; for example, Basalt validates parking at Hyatt Centric. International Market Place validates 4 hours with a $10 purchase (most people can pop into ABC Store on ground level to make the minimum purchase for parking validation), and the International Market Place now validates 4 hours of parking with a $30 purchase!

Annual Rainfall at a Specific Location
If you need to find out the amount of annual rainfall at a particular location,
- First, it is helpful, but _not_ required to obtain the Latitude and Longitude of that location
- Go to google.com/maps
Note that bing.com/maps does _not_ provide address Latitude and Longitude data.
- In the Search box, enter the address that interests you, then press the Enter key
- In the address bar of the found location, drag your pointer to highlight the first set of two numbers after the @ sign; e.g. 21.281305,-157.8343581, as shown in the picture
- This is the Latitude and Longitude (L & L) of the specified address
- Simultaneously press the "Ctrl" and "c" keys to copy the L & L data
- Now insert the Latitude and Longitude data into the rainfall map
- Go to http://rainfall.geography.hawaii.edu/interactivemap.html
- Click the Agree button
- In the lower left of the map next to "Units", click "in" (inches)
- In the lower left of the map next to "Show", click "RF Atlas Stations" to turn off
- In the lower left of the map next to "Show", click "Rainfall" to turn off
- Put your pointer over Oahu and drag it to the center of the screen
- On the left of the map drag the slider button up to zoom in on Oahu
- Repeat the above two steps until you have centered and zoomed into the approximate area of interest
- If you zoom in far enough, you can see the streets and building outlines
- Click in the Location box, then simultaneously press the "Ctrl" and "v" keys to paste the L & L data
- Reduce each of the two values to 4 digits past the period; e.g 21.2813,-157.8343, then click the Go button
- If you _don't_ reduce the number of decimal places, you will get an error message "Location is invalid or outside of the rainfall map area."
- The amount of annual rainfall will be displayed next to an "X" indicating the selected address, plus a graph and specific monthly amounts will appear in the left column.
- If you zoomed in far enough to see the streets and building outlines, you can simply select the desired location without needing to know or insert the Latitude and Longitude data.
