If we take this as latitude, longitude, compass bearing, it points from Copley Square directly towards Manchester, NH.

Hahaha!

Just like XKCD, by creating a set of coordinates as a game hint, they have invariably altered the future and will thus cause a lot of FIRSTers to visit said location. And if they continue to follow said bearing of 342.242026 degrees until they arrive in Manchester, NH, and eventually FIRST, I bet there's going to be a sign on the door that says something like "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine".
