[Taxacom] GPS reading for Cusuco N.P. Visitors' Center?

After about a half hour spent in vain Google searches, I need to just 
ask: has anyone in the history of mankind actually taken a GPS 
reading at the Visitors' Center of Cusuco National Park in Honduras? 
Every single reference work I can find gives coordinates only to the 
nearest minute, and there are at least four different such answers, 
also with a variety of different elevations. There is only ONE 
Visitor's Center, and it obviously cannot be simultaneously at 1800m 
and 1550m elevation. I need an actual reading, to seconds, from an 
actual GPS unit on the grounds of the Visitors' Center itself, not 
some point along one of the hiking trails.

Anyone have such a reading they wouldn't mind sharing?

Thanks in advance,
